Flooded Basement Water Removal in Nashville, TN

Nashville, TN – Major storm and heavy rain caused widespread flooding in Tennessee.

Rapid rainfall caught people by surprise which left people, dogs and other animals trapped. Where possible, people were evacuated to higher ground, and area airports had to close.

While flash flooding spread across the state, experts advised to use common sense. Be careful going through water even if it doesn't look like it's deep.

Often, water levels on the road are deeper than they appear, and vehicles can easily get stuck or float. In addition, be aware of your surroundings and keep the radio or tv on so you’re up-to-date with the most recent local happenings. This will help ensure you stay safe.
