Properly Cleaning, Restoring A Flooded Basement

Once the source of the water damage has been discovered and fixed, and once the standing water removal has taken place, assessing the water damage is the next step.

A very real threat of a flooded basement is the spawning of mold and fungus growth. That mold and fungus growth can take place following the water damage that is left behind after the standing water is removed. Mold and fungus can produce allergic reactions, and can be especially hard on infants, older adults and those with existing medical problems like asthma, COPD, and other respiratory issues.

To avoid long-term problems from mold or mildew the excess water and moisture in the basement must be removed as quickly as possible and the damaged area dried out thoroughly. This is the best defense against the growth of mold and fungus.
