What Are Dangers Of A Flooded Basement?

In our industry, floodwater is considered category 3, which means it carries biological and chemical waste that threatens your environment and family. With biohazard in mind, our team can connect sump pumps to sewage lines directly to dispose of extracted water safely. Other ancillary equipment which is necessary for a complete restoration include:

• Submersible pumps complement the pumping efforts of sump pumps.
• Industrial strength dehumidifiers to evaporate water
• Injectidry equipment to push hot air within wall cavities as needed

Since groundwater is deemed Black Water, at times, it may be necessary to discard carpeting, some contents, and non-salvageable building materials like drywall or trim work.
