Water Damage

Flooded basements can cause significant damage to your home if not cleaned up properly.

The best way to clean up a flooded basement is to:

  • Remove as much water as possible using a wet/dry vacuum cleaner or pump.
  • Open windows and doors to air out the basement and help dry it out.
  • Clean up any remaining water with a mop and bucket.
  • Remove all wet items from the basement and dispose of them properly.
  • Dry out the basement completely using fans or a dehumidifier.
  • Sanitize the basement with a bleach solution to kill any bacteria or mold.
  • Repair any damage caused by the flood.

If the water damage is severe, it is important to contact a professional cleaner or restoration company for assistance.
