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.
