Flood Damage Restoration Process

Restoring a flooded basement involves meticulously ensuring your property is safe and free from further damage.

Here's an overview of our typical approach:

  • Safety Assessment: Our first step is a thorough safety inspection. We check for electrical hazards and structural issues that could pose risks.
  • Water Extraction: We swiftly remove standing water from your basement using specialized pumps and vacuums to prevent additional damage and mold growth.

  • Drying and Dehumidification: We strategically place our industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to thoroughly dry your basement. This process may take several days.
  • Cleaning and Sanitization: Once dry, we meticulously clean and sanitize the affected area to eliminate contaminants and inhibit mold growth. This includes cleaning walls, floors, and salvageable belongings.
  • Mold Prevention: To prevent mold, we apply antimicrobial treatments to surfaces and use mold inhibitors.
  • Repairs and Restoration: After cleaning, we begin repairs and restoration. This may involve replacing drywall, insulation, flooring, and other damaged materials.
  • Final Inspection: We conduct a final inspection to ensure your basement is safe, dry, and free from contaminants. At this stage, we also address any lingering odors.
  • Preventative Measures: To mitigate future flooding, we may recommend installing a sump pump, improving drainage, or sealing foundation cracks.
