Sensitive Items to a Dry Location

What is the Best Way to Clean Up a Flooded Basement?

Flooding in your basement can mean costly water damage and bring about a host of health issues if not properly mitigated.

It is vital to take immediate action to prevent further damage and protect your health.

Steps to Dry Sensitive Items:

  • Identify and Protect: Isolate and protect sensitive items like electronics, furniture, and documents from further water damage.
  • Elevate: Move items off the floor and place them on elevated surfaces like tables or shelves.
  • Dry: Use towels, fans, or a dehumidifier to dry affected areas thoroughly. Avoid using heat sources that may damage items.
  • Clean: Clean affected items with a mild detergent and water solution if necessary. Disinfect surfaces to prevent mold growth.
  • Store: Once dry, store sensitive items in a dry and well-ventilated location to prevent future damage.
