This quick look will help you figure out what to do next. 

• Stay safe: Turn off the power, wear protective gear, and avoid standing water.

Repairing these issues is key to keeping your basement dry in the future. We use top-quality materials to seal cracks and fix leaks, making sure everything can stand up to water pressure.

Disinfecting and Sanitizing the Area

After the water is drained and repairs begin, it’s so important to disinfect and sanitize the area. Floodwater can cause bacteria, mold, and mildew to grow, which isn’t just bad for your home—it can also affect your health. That’s why we use biodegradable cleaning solutions that are safe for both your family and the environment.

Our goal is to get your basement back to being a clean, healthy space. We use advanced tools like steam cleaners, HEPA vacuums, and air exchangers to remove any contaminants. This thorough cleaning process ensures your basement is free of harmful substances and ready for use again.

Here’s how we do it:

• What we use: Biodegradable products, steam cleaners, and HEPA vacuums.
• Why it matters: To remove mold, mildew, and bacteria so your space is safe and healthy.

Adding extra waterproofing measures can give your home lasting protection. This could include improving exterior drainage, applying interior sealants, or creating a solid moisture management plan.
