If you have ever been involved with basement floods, we hope this episode will help you through the cleanup process. Whether you have stumbled across a building with a basement you can't remember, or just want to learn how to prepare for future flooding, you'll get tips on what to do if your basement floods. In this episode, we outline what to do when you first notice a flooded basement, and how best to seal your basement so you never have to deal with these headaches again.

As soon as the cause of the flooded basement is clarified, the cleanup should begin. If you have prepared properly for the cleanup, you can start with the dirt and mud that the flood brought into the basement. Take a hose and spray down your basement and remove mold or mold that has formed during the floods. The next time there is water damage in a basement, for whatever reason, call flood damage restoration cleaning services.

Anything touched by the floods must be cleaned with mold repellent. If your cellar is flooded with black water, many items that cannot be cleaned or disinfected will need to be replaced. For a complete cellar flood and cleaning up, one must consider the amount of water damage in the cellar as well as the risk of mold and mold in the environment.

In the case of a cellar flood, the first thing you want to do is find out where the water comes from and how to stop the water flow when the cellar is flooded. You want to determine whether your cellar has been actively flooded, so something is still flowing. Make sure all drains and basement floors are debris-free and the sump pump works.
