How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Tatums

The clock starts when the water arrives, not when it is noticed. A basement that flooded while the family was away may already be past the first 48 hours.

1. Remove the standing water

   As the level drops, the crew watches for hazards the water was hiding: nails, broken glass and loose stair treads.

2. Trace where the water went

   Carpet, pad and flooring are checked from below as well as above, because a dry surface can sit over wet material.

3. Take out what cannot dry

   Baseboards may be pulled to let air reach the bottom of the wall. They can be put back or replaced after drying.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Dehumidifiers and air movers run around the clock. LGR or desiccant units pull moisture out of the cool basement air.

Rec rooms and paneled basements were popular in this era. Wood paneling, carpet and drop ceilings soak up water, and the crew checks behind them.

Variable weather means a basement can stay dry for years, then flood in a single storm. Keeping the number handy helps. Owners carry the policy and the deductible. Comparing the deductible with typical water removal costs helps in deciding whether to file.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Ask the adjuster before throwing out ruined items. Some insurers want to see or count damaged belongings first. Photographs and a written list usually cover that step.

• The homeowner photographs the waterline before anything is moved
• Note the source: rain, groundwater, drain or pipe
• Save weather reports from the day of the storm

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
