Dealing with flood cleanup is never enjoyable, especially when tallying up the damage to your house and personal belongings. Even just an inch of water can result in the need to replace carpeting, wallboard, appliances, and furniture. After a more severe storm with deeper floodwaters, you may find yourself replacing items such as roofing, heating and air conditioning systems, ductwork, utilities, septic tanks, and even your foundation. While it might seem exaggerated to suggest that a flood can destroy your home’s foundation, it’s a common occurrence even in minor flooding. This typically happens when your basement is entirely or nearly full of water. Draining the basement too quickly can create greater pressure outside the walls than inside, leading to cracks or even collapse. It’s advisable to slowly pump out just two or three feet of water per day. If you’re dealing with flooding issues, consider contacting Wet Basement Resolutions to pump out the water and address any drainage or waterproofing system concerns in your basement.
