Basements flood from a lot of causes — sump pump failure, sewer backup, foundation seepage, or a burst pipe overhead. Whatever the source, the response is the same: extract fast, remove unsalvageable materials, dry the structure completely, and address the cause so it doesn't repeat.
What's included
- Sump pump failure and storm response
- Basement extraction and dehumidification
- Sewer backup handling to IICRC S500
- Finished basement salvage where possible
- Sump pump and backup pump upgrades
Our process
1
Extract
Submersible pumps and extractors move standing water out fast — often the difference between salvage and total loss.
2
Remove
Wet drywall, pad, insulation, and porous storage are cut out to protect what's still dry.
3
Dry & prevent
Drying to standard, plus recommendations for sump, battery backup, or foundation waterproofing.
Frequently Asked Questions
My basement floods every spring — what should I do?+
Usually a combination of sump pump upgrade, battery backup, and exterior drainage. We assess and quote both plumbing and cleanup.
Can carpet and pad be saved?+
Clean water: sometimes, if extracted fast. Sewer or foundation water: no — it must come out.
How long does a basement take to dry?+
Typically 3–7 days depending on square footage, materials, and how quickly extraction started.
