Basement Flood Cleanup
Water extraction, flood cuts and structural drying after a basement flood, followed by the waterproofing repair that stops it happening again.
Cleaning up without fixing the cause just books the next visit
Storm sewer surcharge, a failed sump, a cracked wall: a basement floods for a reason, and the reason is still there after the water has gone. Drying alone means doing all of this again after the next storm.
We extract, remove saturated materials, flood cut the drywall above the water line so the cavity can dry, and run air movers on the bare slab until readings match a control area. Then, as a full construction contractor, we deal with the cause and rebuild.
What the work includes- Extraction and removal of saturated carpet, underlay and drywall
- Flood cuts above the water line so wall cavities can dry
- Air movers and dehumidifiers on the bare slab
- Antimicrobial treatment where contamination is a risk
- Waterproofing repair to address the actual cause
- Rebuild, finishes included, by the same company
- Insurance documentation throughout
Act immediately when
- Water is sitting on the basement floor after a storm
- The sump pump has failed or cannot keep up
- Sewage or grey water is involved, which is a health risk
- Finished basement walls are wet at the base
- It has happened before in the same spot
Basement Flood Cleanup, answered
Drywall is cut horizontally above the water line and removed, so the wall cavity, insulation and framing behind it can actually dry. Leaving it closed up is how mould starts.
Yes, and that is the point. Tricon Ontario Inc. is a full construction contractor, so the drywall, waterproofing, finishes and warranty stay with one company and one estimator.
Not if the cause is dealt with. We will tell you what caused it, whether that is grading, weeping tile, a wall crack or the sump, and price the permanent fix separately so you can decide.
