Dangers of a Flooded Basement 

A flooded basement is more than an inconvenience. It's a health risk that needs immediate attention and emergency water damage restoration. 

• Bacteria Contamination: Basement flood water could come from the sewage or plumbing system, which could contain high levels of bacteria like E Coli and other hazardous contaminants. 
• Electrical Hazards: Water can seep into low outlets causing short circuits and damage to wiring around the property. Loose wires can cause electrocution hazards. 
• Structural Integrity: Water flooding your basement, especially for an extended period, can cause cracks to form in the foundation of your property and support beams to rot or rust, compromising the security and structural integrity of your property.  
• Appliances: flood water that reaches HVAC appliances, washing machines, and clothes dryers can cause these machines and systems to shut down or malfunction, requiring costly repairs and replacements. 
• Mold Infestations: Within a day or two of exposure to water damage, properties are susceptible to mold outbreaks that can range in severity without flooded basement cleanup. In extreme cases, black mold can cause nausea, headaches, and asthma.

Causes of Basement Flooding

There are many reasons basements flood. It could be seasonal melting, storms, sump pump failures, or a sewage backup. While all flooding requires immediate professional attention to be safely removed. The most serious and unpredictable type of basement flooding is a sewage backup. 

If you hear or see dubbing in your drains or smell the pungent odour of sewage in your basement or bathrooms, call Canada's Restoration Services for sewage backup cleanup. The flood water from a sewage backup is contaminated and highly hazardous and should only be handled by a qualified professional. 

How to Cleanup Flooded Basements 

At Canada's Restoration Services, we take a multi-step approach to flooded basement cleanup to ensure a thorough process and that our results are safe and complete. 

Step 1: Water Removal & Drying

Once the source of the flood water is addressed, technicians will begin to remove excess water and dry soaked or wet areas using pumps, dehumidifiers, and other advanced tools. 

Step 2: Salvageable & Non-Salvageable Items 

We'll work with property owners to discard non-salvageable items and separate items that can be restored. 

Step 3: Basement Cleanup 

Check for any remnants of water damage, clean up salvageable belongings and building materials to slow and prevent mold infestations and return the area to a functional space.

Secondary Water Damage Repair

One of the many reasons basement flood cleanup should be urgent is to prevent the onset of secondary water damage. Essentially secondary water damage is the effects of flooding, leaks, burst pipes, sewage backups, or any other type of water damage resulting in even more damage that often goes beyond the scope of the initial water damage incident. Strategic, fast, and comprehensive flooded basement cleanup and repair from Canada’s Restoration Services, minimizes the opportunity for secondary water damage. 

• Electrical Damage: When water gets into electrical sockets, interferes with wiring, or seeps into electrically-powered appliances, severe damage can occur to the circuits and the devices connected, which are costly to repair. More importantly, the mix of electricity and water poses a heightened risk for severe electrical shock.
• Metal Corrosion: Pipes, studs, beams, and other construction materials which are crucial to the infrastructure of a residential or commercial property are vulnerable to corrosion when immersed in water. The longer flooded basement cleanup and repair takes to be completed, the more these metals, especially iron alloys, will corrode, threatening the functionality of your home or commercial facility and potentially compromising your water supply. 
• Wood Rot: Wood is virtually everywhere around any type of property. When affected by water damage rotting is impending. The faster-flooded basement cleanup occurs, the more effectively you will be able to protect the wood in your walls, floors, and ceilings from rotting. If rotting continues at an accelerated rate, it can threaten the structural integrity of your property.
• Mold Infestation: Mold is one of the most frustrating forms of secondary water damage. If basement flood cleanup and mold removal services do not arrive within the first 24 hours (even sooner) of flooding, mold will likely infiltrate your property and spread throughout your basement and elsewhere inside. Paired with humidity, wood rot, and darkness, the basement is the ideal environment for mold outbreaks compromising the health of your property and indoor air quality. 

To mitigate the hazards of basement flooding, trust Canada’s Restoration Services with your emergency flooded basement cleanup and repair. We’ll help you restore your property, protect your belongings, and maintain a healthy environment.
