Residential Flooding - Riverlea 43085

Floods can accumulate anywhere in your house. Even so, it is a most difficult problem to take care of when it gathers in a person's basement.

Basements store everything from tools, old furniture and possessions, and even paint and other chemical based materials. Each one of these may mix in the flood water, forming more hazardous compounds. This is why it is always important for us to go in to floodwater with the appropriate gear. Waterproof and impenetrable gloves and footwear are of utmost importance. Long-sleeved clothes and trousers will also be a necessity. Also, when going into a flooded basement, because of the presence of electrical cables and outlets, we always turn off the power supply inside the whole structure to prevent electrocution.

In draining floodwater, we will be sure that the pump you are using runs on a rechargeable source of energy, or from a power supply outside the property or structure you are 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 out and regain their sturdiness.
