What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
After a basement flood, insulation and drywall can hold water against framing. Mold growth can start on soaked surfaces within 24 to 48 hours, so the drying plan includes hidden cavities rather than only the floor.
- Keep clear of a submerged outlet and do not force open a window against deep water.
- Keep people away from wet outlets, ceiling fixtures, and standing water of unknown origin.
- Move dry documents and electronics away from the wet floor.
- Photograph the water level, wet rooms, and damaged belongings before cleanup.
