Flooded Basement = No Fun

Have your ever had to deal with a flooded basement? If you have, you know that it is no fun!!

While it seems very unlikely right now due to the lack of rain we have been getting in the area, all it can take is a short stretch of heavy rain to create a disaster of a basement.

If you ever do have to deal with a flooded basement, make sure you call a restoration company with the experience needed to tackle this type of water damage. You definitely want to ensure you have professionals who are trained to clean and restore your property as well as check for serious problems that can occur, such as mold buildup. 

At SERVPRO of Henry and Spalding Counties and SERVPRO of Henry, Spalding, Butts and Clayton Counties, our crews have the necessary equipment to pump out the water from your basement and start the drying process.

Make sure to not leave standing water for a long period because as mentioned above, basements are prime spots for mold to spread, and this can become a serious issue over time in an area. 

Make sure to clean the gutters regularly, invest in a good sump pump, buy flood sensors (choose one where you get alerts sent straight to your phone), and protect basement windows with a window well cover.
