Removing Water after a Flood

It’s important to keep in mind that the sooner you remove water, the less the potential for damage to your home and contents, as well as for illness due to a damp environment. Once the water source has been identified and addressed, and safety measures have been taken, the excess water can be removed.

If your basement flooding is minimal, you may be able to remove the water from wet areas with a squeegee, wet shop vacuum or even a mop and bucket. Otherwise, ServiceMaster of Boulder can assist you using advanced techniques and specialized equipment, such as a portable submersible water pumps, truck mounted water extraction units as well as weighted water extraction tools to remove water quickly and thoroughly.

Additionally, it may be necessary to pack and remove water soaked contents in your flooded basement for thorough drying and restoration.

After all of the excess water has been extracted you can breathe a sigh of relief, but the job isn’t done. A considerable amount of moisture remains in the air and on basement surfaces, so now the critical process of drying begins.

How To Dry a Flooded Basement

A flooded basement creates prime conditions for mold growth, which can begin within 24 to 72 hours.

For that reason, and to prevent further damage from moisture, it’s important to accelerate the drying process.

If the moisture level is manageable, use one or more fans to circulate the air and a dehumidifier capable of efficiently capturing the moisture. These items should be moved regularly to different areas until the basement is completely dry.

In situations where moderate to severe flooding occurred, again consider enlisting the help of our experienced team at ServiceMaster of Boulder.

Using moisture meters, we measure moisture levels, even in hidden areas such as building materials. Our high-speed air movers and commercial dehumidifiers are capable of removing hard to access and high levels of moisture. Additionally, we monitor the drying process to ensure all areas in the basement are completely dry to avoid costly secondary damage.
