FAQ

Basement Flood Cleanup Questions Answered

It is often a sump failure, a drain backup, or groundwater pressure after heavy rain. A pro can pinpoint which one.

If the water was clean and extracted quickly, the carpet may be saved with new pad. If it came from a drain backup or outside seepage, it usually should be replaced.

Typically three to seven days. Concrete and block walls hold moisture longer than above-grade spaces, so basements often take more time.

Have a licensed technician check any equipment the water touched before using it.

It depends on the cause. Sudden pipe bursts are often covered. Sump pump failures may need a specific endorsement, and groundwater flooding is usually excluded. Ask your agent.

No. A Water Damage is a free referral service that connects you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who do the work.
