Pumping, removal, and drying are priced in writing up front. Documentation is set up for your insurance claim.
Flooded Basement Cleanup Solutions
Here's what basement cleanup typically includes.
Basement Water Pumping
Pumps remove standing water and discharge it far enough from the house to avoid recirculating. Extractors finish what the pumps leave.
Carpet, Pad & Drywall Removal
Carpet over concrete holds water against the slab, and pad usually has to go. Drywall is flood-cut above the wet line, and wet insulation behind it comes out.
Sump Pump Inspection
They'll look at the float, check valve, discharge line, and power supply. Many homeowners add a battery backup or second pump after a flood.
Seepage & Window Well Issues
Hydrostatic pressure can push water through cracks, the wall-floor joint, or window wells. White, chalky efflorescence on walls shows where moisture has been moving.
Slab & Foundation Wall Drying
Slab and block walls need extended dehumidification to dry fully. Moisture readings decide when it's ready for new finishes.

Basement Cleanup Stories From Sully Square
These all started with water at the bottom of the stairs.
The sump float jammed in a storm and the basement filled with about four inches. They pumped it out, pulled the carpet and the bottom two feet of drywall, and had dehumidifiers running that night.
— Kristen P., Sully SquareWe had water coming in where the wall meets the floor. The pro showed us the efflorescence and explained the hydrostatic pressure issue so we knew what to fix next.
— Doug E., Sully SquareAfter the cleanup we added a battery backup sump on their suggestion. It kicked in during the next outage and kept the basement dry.

Why did my basement flood?
Usually it's a sump failure, groundwater pushed up by heavy rain, poor drainage at the foundation, window wells filling up, or a leak from plumbing or the water heater.
Is it safe to go into a flooded basement?
Avoid it if anything electrical is wet or submerged. If you smell gas from the furnace or water heater, leave and call the utility.
Can basement carpet be saved?
Clean-water carpet can sometimes be dried and saved, but the pad almost always goes. Carpet exposed to groundwater or sewage is usually replaced.
How long does it take to dry a flooded basement?
Usually three to seven days. Concrete slabs and block walls hold moisture longer than wood-framed rooms, so dehumidifiers may run longer than upstairs drying would.
How can I keep my basement from flooding again?
Extend downspouts, test the sump each season, add a backup pump, cover window wells, and seal or repair cracks in the foundation.
