St. Anthony Homes Contending with Flood Damage Need Fast Mitigation Solutions

When water begins to flow into your basement after a flood, the results can be devastating for your home. Even when this area of your home is not finished into livable space, it is often used as a storage space for seasonal supplies and keepsakes. It is essential to address flood damage as fast as possible.

Stopping the Intrusion of Water

The first step of managing flood damage in a St. Anthony home is identifying where water enters the household. Extraction and drying measures are not productive or successful if the source of the damage has not been resolved. When water is pushing through cracks and holes in masonry foundations, for example, a temporary solution is the application of hydraulic cement to get restoration underway.

Deep Extraction Options

Several inches of standing water is a considerable amount in the entire basement of your property. When several hundred or thousands of gallons of water need managing, we have fast extraction solutions like gas-powered trash pumps and truck-mount extractors that can eliminate water and small debris at a rapid rate.

Shallow Surface Water Removal 

Submersible pumps and truck mount extractors can only take the standing water down so far before the intake cannot maintain a prime. At this point, we must look to our extraction inventory for smaller and more versatile units to clear the rest of the surface water concerns. Some of the tools and products needed for this level of recovery include:

• Wet vacuums
• Light wands
• Toweling and mopping

Flooding is one of the most rapidly forming and destructive situations that your home is likely to face in its lifetime. Flooded basements must get resolved immediately between the standing water threats and the possibility of contamination and pathogenic hazards.
