Cleaning Up a Flooded Mess

The last thing anyone looks forward to is coming home to a flooded out basement and home. It doesn’t take very long for rainwater to accumulate from a terrestrial storm and cause severe flooding all throughout the house. The first step you must undertake to begin the restoration process is to call for the pros. It’s very important to have a reputable restoration provider available. Take the time to do the research, it will pay off in dividends!

OK, so you’ve contacted a trustworthy company, but now what do you do? There are a few helpful tips you can follow in the meantime. In order to get rid of the foul musty smell left behind by the flood damages, you’ll want to open up all the windows in the house and let the clean fresh air in. Once the windows are opened, you can take extra precautionary measures by sealing off the entire basement section to prevent potential accidents from occurring.

You can gather up any family members and calmly wait outside or at a neighbor’s house until help arrives. Hiring a well respected water damage restoration is vital, although many homeowners prefer to do it themselves. The main drawback to doing it yourself is the cost per item, which can become quite steep. You’ll need to spend money on a sump pump, wet vacuum, dehumidifier and an industrial strength air blower. An experienced technician can get things under control right away and for a lot less.
