What Can Homeowners Do When the Basement Floods?

If you have flood damage in your Brookside home, safety should be your first concern. Don’t venture into the basement until you are sure it is safe. Safety concerns include:

• Electrical hazards
• Hidden slip and fall danger
• Injury from unseen debris
• Contaminated floodwater

Bacterial growth from floodwaters is hazardous. It can contain other contaminants, such as medical or chemical waste, dirt, and viruses. Moisture left unattended increases the risk of mold as well. That is why getting mitigation fast is necessary. If not, you could end up with damaged:

• Subflooring and baseboards
• Carpet and padding
• Structural elements
• Wiring 
• Personal belongings
• Walls
