💧 YOUR BASEMENT FLOODED. NOW WHAT?
When water gets into your basement, the clock starts ticking. Here are 7 things you should do:
1️⃣ Put safety first. Don't enter standing water if there could be an electrical hazard.
2️⃣ Stop the source if you can safely do so.
3️⃣ Remove standing water as quickly as possible.
4️⃣ Don't assume it's dry. Moisture can hide behind walls, under flooring and inside materials.
5️⃣ Watch for mold. Lingering moisture can create the perfect environment for mold growth.
6️⃣ Document the damage. Take photos and videos before cleanup begins.
7️⃣ Remember: cleanup isn't always the end. Water damage may require drying, mold remediation, repairs and reconstruction.
💡 The sooner water is removed and your home is properly dried, the better.
