What to Do When Your Basement Floods: A Step-by-Step Guide
A basement flooding emergency is stressful. Follow these critical steps to ensure safety and minimize damage, then immediately call our professional restoration company for help.
1Safety First: Turn Off Power & Assess
Do not enter the flooded basement. The combination of water and electricity is extremely dangerous. Before doing anything else, go to your home's breaker box and cut off all power to the basement. This is the most important step in any water damage emergency to prevent shock. If you suspect the flood water is contaminated (e.g., sewage backup), avoid contact, as it contains biohazards that require professional cleaners.
2Call for Professional Emergency Service
Your next call should be to a professional restoration company. Our emergency flood service is available 24/7. We will guide you on the next steps and dispatch a team immediately. Also, notify your insurance company. We have extensive experience working with insurance providers to document the damage and streamline your claim for the restoration and repair work.
3Professional Water Removal
Getting the standing water out quickly is critical to prevent further damage to your basement walls and structure. Do not use a standard household vacuum. Our company uses high-powered, submersible pumps and industrial wet/dry vacuums designed for rapid water removal. This swift cleanup is the first phase of a proper restoration process and helps reduce the overall damage from the flood.
4Drying and Mold Remediation
After water removal, your basement is still wet. Dampness in the drywall, flooring, and air creates a perfect breeding ground for mold, which can appear in 24-48 hours. Our services include placing industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to thoroughly dry all surfaces. This professional drying process is a key part of mold remediation and prevents long-term air quality issues and the need for more extensive repairs.
5Full Cleanup and Damage Repair
The final stage is the complete cleanup and restoration of your basement. Our professional cleaners will sanitize all affected areas to eliminate bacteria. We will assess all items and help with the removal of unsalvageable materials. Our team then performs any necessary damage repair, from replacing sections of your walls to flooring repair, returning your basement to its pre-flood condition. This comprehensive cleaning service ensures your home is safe and clean.
