Wet Basement Remediation and Disinfection

You probably think about how you are going to get rid of all the water to begin with, and you probably think about how you are going to clean up afterwards. Wet basement remediation begins by pumping out all the excess water. There’s no way around it. You’ve got to dry things out as thoroughly as humanly possible. Many times there is so much water that it truly takes the help of a professional company to conduct a proper wet basement remediation.

Another reason you’ll likely need the help of a professional company is the fact that you may not be able to actually dispose of so much water yourself. An expert company will likely pump out the water, and have it dumped into the right type of vehicle for transport and full disposal.

Once all the dirty water has been removed from your wet basement, then the real process of cleaning up begins. Dirty water usually has untold amounts of nasty pathogens. These germs can make you and your family very sick. Therefore, you will need to have the entire basement disinfected. Most families do not have the correct industrial strength chemicals that can disinfect and kill the germs that need to be gotten rid of. Once that’s done, then drying the basement through the use of full strength, industrial fans, heaters, and dehumidifiers is in order. Knowing the correct areas to place these fans and heaters is very important since water can seep into hard to reach access areas and crawl spaces, and these areas must be dried out too in order to help prevent mold from taking hold.

We recommend that you always choose a company that has great referrals. Asking your friends or relatives for such a referral is a good idea. Make sure that whatever company you choose has a team of wet basement remediation professionals who have provided these type of services many times before, and who can get the job done for you the very first time!
