How Power Outage Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Walthourville

Remove the standing water

Trace where the water went

-
Take out what cannot dry
Cardboard, paper and soaked upholstery are sorted away from the work area, and the owner decides what is thrown out.

Dry the structure and verify

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
The clock starts when the water arrives, not when it is noticed. A basement that flooded while the family was away may already be past the first 48 hours.
- Stay out of the basement, since power can return while the water is still there
- Turn off the main breaker only if the panel is dry and you can reach it standing on dry ground
- Run any generator outdoors, far from windows and doors, never in a basement or garage
- Photograph the pit, the waterline and the damage with your phone light
- Carry valuables up only if the stairs and floor are dry and safe
