Emergency Water Removal

As stated previously, water wreaks havoc on your property. It quickly begins to form mold, mildew, fungi, and other harmful growths that both smell bad and can cause respiratory problems. The spores given off by these growths are harmful to the health of anyone who comes in contact with them. The first step to flood restoration is water removal. We use state-of-the-art technology to vacuum and remove all standing water in your home or business. From there, we go through great care to dry out the rest of your property. This includes the walls, floors, carpets, and other damaged property. We act fast on this step to prevent further damage, which can delay the repair process.

Flooded Basement Care

If you have water in your basement, you need to act quickly. Water finds the path of least resistance as it makes its way through your basement. It will find holes and cracks in your basement floor and walls, making it even more difficult to eradicate and repair. A flooded basement can be caused by many different factors, such as a faulty sump pump, heavy rainfall, insufficient drainage, or a combination of different failures. If you notice water gathering in your basement, give us a call right away.

What Should I Do If My Basement Floods?

At the first sign of water in your basement, you need to act quickly. Here are some quick steps to take while you call Storm Waterproofing for help.

• Avoid touching floodwater in your basement. Your entire home is hooked up to electricity. You may not know that the flood water is touching cables or outlets, making the water incredibly dangerous. Shut off the power to your home with your circuit breaker.
• Remove the water with a wet vac. If your basement is flooded, your sump pump has likely failed. So, purchase a new one to remove the water.
• Remove damp objects and furniture and dry them. Place them in a safe, well-ventilated area where they can dry. Rip up wet carpet and carpet pads.
• Dry the rest of the area with large fans and dehumidifiers. We can provide these industrial units as part of our service.
• Establish the cause of the flood and take steps to prevent future floods. Whether your sump pump failed or cracks in your foundation lead to water leaking in, it’s important to avoid dealing with this issue again.

When Should I Call an Expert?

At the first sign of flooding in your basement, you should give us a call. You may be able to remove the water yourself and dry your objects, but you won’t be able to accurately access the amount of water damage.

Storm Waterproofing is standing by to help you with 24/7 emergency response services. We can quickly remove flood water from your home, install preventative measures, and make sure your basement is safe and free from mold.
