Basement Flooded? Here’s What to Do Next

A flooded basement can be overwhelming and costly, often happening with little warning. If you discover water in your basement, stay calm and follow a few essential steps.

Start by making sure it’s safe to enter. Turn off the electricity and gas, and watch for damaged wiring or signs of structural issues. In some cases, you may need to wait until all the water is drained before going inside.

Once it’s safe, identify the source of the flooding and begin removing or pumping out the water. Afterward, you can focus on repairs and restoring the space.
