Flooding Prevention Tips and the Remodel of a Basement damaged by Flood

If you are a home or business owner, knowing what to do in the event of a flooding from a burst pipe or natural disaster is important as time is of the essence to prevent hazardous conditions such as the build up of mold. Know where your water supply is and shut it off immediately. If you cannot control the water, shut off your power supply. Homeowners residing in cooler regions where the temperature drops to freezing should pay attention to any pipes exposed to the elements. Wrap any copper pipes and check for leaky pipes. Shut off the water supply to your backyard during winter. Remove any leaves or dirt that may have gathered around drains; blocked drains cause flooding too. Clear gutters. Leave a tap dripping if your household will vacate the home for more than a few days.

Take a look at the 3 short videos below to see the preparations and renovation of Belinda’s flood damaged basement.

Fire and flooding are major disruptor with chaotic effects. This basement went through both. Prior to meeting us, our client consulted with various contractors and her home insurance company for help. Several months later the basement was damp and moldy, creepy crawlies moved right in and the residents living above in the home moved out. The homeowner reached out to us. Our team immediately supported the homeowner and provided guidance to help move the insurance process along. We worked with the homeowner to clear the basement and dispose of damaged items. We then reconstructed the basement and turned it into a beautiful and functional space.
Last day! This was taken hours before we put caps on all the outlets,painted the room with the homeowners water heater, installed a new slop sink, put a handle on the door under the staircase…and more. Our team were certainly busy!
