Basement Floods - Melrose Park 60165

Floods can gather anywhere in your house. Even so, it's a most difficult problem to handle when it gathers in a person's basement.

Basements keep anything from power tools, aged furniture and possessions, and even paint and other chemical based substances. Every one of these can mix in the flood water, creating more unsafe substances. For this reason it will always be essential for us to go in to floodwater with the proper gear. Water-resistant and impenetrable gloves and boots are of utmost importance. Long-sleeved clothes and pants will also be a necessity. Additionally, when going into a flooded basement, because of the presence of electric wires and outlets, we always turn off the power supply in the whole structure to prevent electrocution.

In draining floodwater, we will be sure that the pump you are working with runs on a rechargeable source of energy, or from a power supply outside the home or structure you are in. Perma-Seal will be sure to drain the water slowly, about a foot every eight to twelve hours to allow the walls and other fixtures to dry out and regain their sturdiness.
