Residential Flooding - Columbus, 43219

Floods can gather anywhere in your property. However, it's a most difficult problem to handle when it gathers in one's basement.

Basements store everything from tools, old home furniture and belongings, and even paint and other chemical based substances. All these can mix in the flood water, creating more unsafe substances. For this reason it will always be important for us to go in to floodwater using the appropriate gear. Waterproof and impenetrable gloves and footwear are of utmost importance. Long sleeved clothing and trousers are also a must. Also, when going into a flooded basement, because of the presence of electric cables and outlets, we always switch off the power supply in the whole structure to avoid electrocution.

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