Residential Flooding - 60030

Floods can collect anywhere in your property. Even so, it is a most difficult issue to handle when it gathers in a person's basement.

Basements hold anything from power tools, old home furniture and belongings, and even paint and other chemical-based materials. Every one of these may mix in the flood water, forming more hazardous compounds. For this reason it is always important for us to go in to floodwater with all the appropriate gear. Waterproof and impenetrable gloves and boots are of utmost importance. Long-sleeved clothes and trousers will also be a must. Additionally, when going into a flooded cellar, because of the presence of electric wires and outlets, we always switch off the power supply in the whole structure to avoid electrocution.

In draining floodwater, we will be sure that the pump you are using runs on a rechargeable power source, or from a power supply outside of the home or structure you're in. Perma-Seal will be certain to drain the water slowly but surely, about a foot every eight to twelve hours to allow the walls and other fittings to dry up and regain their durability.
