What To Do After My Basement Floods?
The best first step when you encounter a flood is to call Certified Disaster Services and get a team on the way ASAP! The next best thing you can do to help mitigate the damage is to try and locate and stop the water from wherever it may be coming.
- For a broken pipe or leaky faucet, close a valve before the break/leak or shut off the water main.
- For a clogged toilet, close the valve bringing water to it, then plunge it clear.
- For a broken drain, stop using water and shut off all water that may go down that drain.
Without proper cleanup and restoration, water damage can lead to more alarming problems like mold damage, which can be a dangerous health hazard. The conditions required for mold to grow are moisture, darkness, warmth, oxygen, and a food source (wood, drywall, etc.). These are the exact conditions a flooded basement might create.
If the mold becomes too bad from water damage, it can become airborne, leading to adverse health effects for anyone in the home. Having the flood damage repaired correctly will ensure mold is never a problem.
How Much Is Flooded Basement Cleanup?
Flooded basement cleanup cost can vary greatly depending on the size of the area affected. Homeowner’s insurance often helps cover water damage, so don’t let any numbers scare you away from getting the job done correctly.
The cost will range depending on many factors. One factor is how bad the flooding is; it could be a minor pipe leak with not too much damage or a basement still full of water from a natural disaster. You can see how the scale of both events might differ in the amount of cleanup/restoration required and, therefore, the project cost. Another likely obvious factor is how vast the damaged space is. More area to clean up and more damage to restore generally leads to a higher price.
