What To Do Until A Flooded Basement Cleanup Company Arrives
There are a few steps you can take to help prevent further water damage when dealing with a flooded basement:
- Be aware of potential safety hazards - Do not enter flood water without the proper protection or if any electrical components are submerged.
- Determine the source of your flooding - If it's not clear where the water is coming from, try to figure it out. If coming from a leaking pipe or water line, immediately turn off the main water to prevent further flooding. If caused by a leaking appliance, look up the best way to stop it from leaking until it is repaired. If caused by heavy rains and pressure on basement walls and floors, you'll have to wait until the storm passes to take action.
- Call a plumber or HVAC technician as needed - Depending on the source of your basement flooding, you'll need a professional to make repairs. In some cases, the source of water will not stop until fixed.
- Call your insurance company - If your damage is caused by a burst pipe, malfunctioning appliance, or a water heater letting go, the flooded basement cleanup should be covered by your homeowner's insurance. Unfortunately, groundwater flooding is usually not covered unless you have additional sump pump or flood insurance.
- Try to get up excess water - You can use towels, mops, buckets, or a wet dry vacuum to try and get up some of the standing water in your basement. Focus on preventing water from migrating to areas that have not already been affected to contain damages.
