Basements flood differently than the rest of the house, and the cleanup has to account for that.

Removing Basement Water

Opening Up Wet Walls

Drywall and fiberglass insulation on below-grade walls are cut out above the wet line so framing and the foundation wall behind it can dry.

D

Drying a Wet Basement Floor

Concrete gives off moisture for days, so dehumidifiers keep running until the slab tests dry.

Common questions

Basement Flood Cleanup Questions Answered

Common causes include a failed sump pump or float switch, a clogged discharge line, heavy rain on saturated soil, a backed-up floor drain, or a new foundation crack. The contractor can help identify the source.

If the water was clean and extracted quickly, the carpet may be saved with new pad. If it came from a drain backup or outside seepage, it usually should be replaced.

Most basements dry in three to seven days, since concrete releases moisture slowly.

If water reached the burners, controls, or wiring, do not run them until a qualified HVAC tech or plumber inspects them.

It depends on the cause. Sudden pipe bursts are often covered. Sump pump failures may need a specific endorsement, and groundwater flooding is usually excluded. Ask your agent.

No. A Water Damage is a free referral service that connects you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who do the work.
