Water Damage Removal
The first step is to remove any standing water and mud and take care of sanitation. The next step is removing contents such as furniture, drapes, bedding, rugs, and clothing from the affected area into a dry area to avoid further contamination and to help everything dry faster. Everything, including floors, walls, and ceilings, should be washed with a strong cleaner and then be disinfected. Then make sure they’re thoroughly dried out.
Water quickly soaks in deeply to where it can take weeks or longer to thoroughly evaporate under natural conditions. Yet even excess moisture damages wood and wallboard in a matter of days, causing warping, splitting, and decay. Given enough time even concrete is weakened. Even after removing carpet and linoleum, sub-flooring can take a month to fully dry.
Basement Floods
In New Jersey, winter and spring storms are a major cause of flooding, but a basement can also fill with water due to an appliance, plumbing, leaking water heater or sewage problem. The source of the water has a big impact on the precautions and sanitation requirements. Anything other than straight-from-plumbing needs extra care, and cleanup from a sewer backup should only be handled by professionals.
Basement Flood Damage Tips
If flooding does occur, there are a few things you can immediately do yourself.
- Disconnect electric power to the area to prevent an electrocution hazard.
- Remove furniture and possessions as soon as possible. Don’t throw out anything that’s been damaged without documenting it first (photos are a great idea). If possible, store them until they can be inspected by your insurance adjuster.
- Notify your insurance company.
- If flooding is minor, remove all standing water and use towels or other materials to absorb as much water as possible.
- Pull up any carpeting and padding. There’s a chance that carpet can be saved, but most likely it will have to be replaced. Removing it speeds the basement dry-out process.
- Ventilate and thoroughly dry out the area.
Water Damage Repairs
After the dry out is complete, it’s finally time actually repair building destruction, including wood flooring and sub-flooring, sheetrock and plaster, and the structure itself. As an inexpensive item, carpet padding should be replaced and in many cases, everything must be replaced. But with fast action carpet might be saved with steam cleaning.
