What to Do If You Have a Flooded Basement

As soon as you notice water backing up into your basement, it is time to take action. When possible, determine the cause of the flooding. Do you have a foundation leak? Perhaps you have a broken sump pump? Or, you may see a broken water line. If water is coming into your home from a water line, try to turn the water off.

In all cases, try to avoid going into standing water. There is an electrical risk present in some areas. It is best to simply leave the space and call for help. If you need help evaluating your home, call the police immediately. Once you are safe, call 5 Star Restoration Specialists. Our team can be there to help you with water damage right away.

What Can We Do for You?

Every situation is different, but 5 Star Restoration Specialists provides comprehensive cleanup services after basement flooding. We can offer all or some of our services to meet your needs. Among those services are the following.

Water Extraction

Even though water may have come in through the drain tile or pipes in your basement, it is not likely to flow back out. Standing water is very common after a flash flood or when a large pipe bursts. In these situations, it is best to allow our team to extract the water from the space. We have various tools to do this including large suction devices that pull the water from your space quickly and safely. We will work to remove as much of the water in this manner as possible.

Removing Damaged Materials

Once the water is out, you are likely to notice some items that are too damaged to save. Unfortunately, items like paper, carpeting, and drywall cannot be simply cleaned. In most cases, these materials need to be disposed of. Our team works to remove any type of damaged items out of the wet space. In doing so, we work to ensure your property is getting rid of the moisture. We never will discard anything that can be restored and cleaned properly.

Drying Out Your Home

The biggest risk to your property after flooding in the basement is mold. That is why it is so critical to dry out all surfaces immediately. To do this, we need to move anything that can be moved out of the damp area. It also means we need to use solutions to help dry out the space. The sooner we can do this, the more effective it is. Drying out your home can take time, but it helps prevent mold growth.

Mold Clean Up

In some situations, mold is already present. Sometimes our clients do not call on us immediately, or they find mold present months after the basement flooding occurs. Our team offers full mold remediation services to remove and clean out the surfaces fully. Our team can help with both the prevention and treatment of mold.

Making Repairs to Your Home

Depending on the extent of the damage, you may need help restoring your home after the water cleanup occurs. 5 Star Restoration Specialists can do that for you. Our team can handle most types of repairs including drywall and flooring. Our basement flooding solutions can help you address the condition of your home to help restore it and potentially prevent the flooding again.

We Work with Your Home Insurance

Not all flooding situations are covered by your home insurance policy. However, some can be. Broken pipes, water heaters, and in some cases storm damage can be covered by your policy. In all cases, our team at 5 Star Restoration Specialists is happy to work with you. We will work with your insurance company to provide a quote for the amount and type of work that needs to be done. We will then work with you to address any concerns you have beyond your coverage.
