Basement Flooding Fiasco

2/23/2022 (Permalink)

When we experience periods of heavy rain like we are expected to get this upcoming week, there's always the possibility of flooding, especially in basements. Flooded basements often happen during storm season or a simple rainy day that lasts a little too long.

We know how frustrating it can be to come home to a flooded basement and that's why we want the cleanup process to be as easy as possible! Until we arrive on the scene, here are a few helpful hints you can use to make the situation easier on you and your home:

• Remove all upholstery, cushions, and clothes for proper drying.
• Hang upholstery, clothes, cloth toys, photographs, or important documents that were affected with wooden clothespins.
• Dry all leather and fur separately at room temperature.
• Attempt to remove excess water by blotting or mopping until we arrive.
• Use wooden blocks or aluminum foil between any furniture and wet carpet.
