Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I clean up my basement after flooding?
First, turn off the power on your circuit breaker and protect yourself by wearing rubber gloves and waterproof boots. It’s also a good idea to wear a mask.
Next, you’ll have to pump out the water, either with a sump pump or by using a wet/dry vacuum. After that, dry the area with fans and a dehumidifier. Work fast, because mold can grow in as little as a couple of days.
Take out any water-damaged furniture and materials including drywall and insulation. After the room is dry, clean the area with detergent. To avoid the risk of mold and further water damage, it’s best to call a professional to deal with a flooded basement.
- How long does it take for a flooded basement to dry out?
After the water has been pumped out, it can take anywhere from a handful of hours to multiple days for a basement to completely dry out. Our technicians can use industrial dehumidifiers and fans to dry your basement out quickly and prevent mold.
- How much does it cost to clean a flooded basement?
According to HomeAdvisor, it can cost between $500 and $1,500 to clean out an inch of clean water in a small basement. Prices can go far beyond that depending on the extent of the damage and whether the water has been contaminated.
At Staten Island Plumbing, we offer coupons for our customers to save money on flood cleanup. Check out our coupons page and mention one when you call to get a discount. It’s also a good idea to call your insurance company to see if you have coverage for flood damage.
- Who cleans up water damage in the basement?
We do—call us to clean up water damage and restore your basement to its original condition after a flood. We provide flood cleanup emergency services across Staten Island.
- How do I stop my basement from flooding in heavy rain?
Many factors contribute to keeping a basement dry. The slope of your yard can encourage water to pool against your house or to drain away from it. Clear your gutters so water can flow in the right direction, and inspect your foundation for any cracks.
Most importantly, make sure your sump pump is maintained and working properly. Consider getting a generator for your sump pump in case you lose power in a storm.
- Should there be water in the basement floor drain?
If you notice water inside your basement floor drain, check on it in a little while to see if it has drained. If it hasn’t, you could have a clog in your floor drain. It won’t be able to do its job if more water needs to drain from your basement.
