-
Remove the standing water

-
Trace where the water went
Carpet, pad and flooring are checked from below as well as above, because a dry surface can sit over wet material.
-
Take out what cannot dry
Baseboards may be pulled to let air reach the bottom of the wall. They can be put back or replaced after drying.
-
Dry the structure and verify
Dehumidifiers and air movers run around the clock. LGR or desiccant units pull moisture out of the cool basement air.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Mold needs moisture, food and time. A flooded basement supplies the first two at once, so the third is the only one anyone controls. Fast water removal is that control.
- Stay out of the basement, since power can return while the water is still there
- Turn off the main breaker only if the panel is dry and you can reach it standing on dry ground
- Run any generator outdoors, far from windows and doors, never in a basement or garage
- Photograph the pit, the waterline and the damage with your phone light
- Carry valuables up only if the stairs and floor are dry and safe
