How Flooded Basement Flood Cleanup Proceeds

1. Secure the affected space

   The technician checks the source and electrical hazards. The first step is to avoid stairs into water near electrical equipment.

2. Remove pooled water

   The crew pumps and extracts wet surfaces, then moves contents from the flooded basement flow path.

3. Find concealed saturation

   Meters show whether flooring, lower drywall, insulation and contents hold water. Soaked material may need removal. The technician checks whether the water picked up contamination.

4. Dry and document

   Air movers dry measured wet zones. The crew records moisture readings and photos, and works to pump in stages and assess every wet finish.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Avoid stairs into water near electrical equipment.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
• Call Flood Cleanup Response Team at (888) 471-9821, 24/7, and describe the flooded basement water.

What to Expect From the Crew

• Water past the surface

  A mop cannot reach moisture in flooring, lower drywall, insulation and contents. The crew dries measured wet layers.

• Work matched to the water

  Category depends on the source and contents. Exposure determines which materials stay and which leave.

• Clear records from start to finish

  Photos and readings document flooded basement damage. Coverage depends on the policy, so check with your own insurer.
