Flooded basements are both stressful and expensive and, much of the time, seem to come out of nowhere. That said, if you’ve noticed that your basement is flooding, don’t panic—there are just a few key steps you’ll need to take. First, confirm that the basement is safe to enter. Make sure to turn off the electricity and gas before heading down and be wary of any electrical wires or water damage to the ceiling. Sometimes, it won’t be safe to enter until the water has been drained completely. After that, you can find the source of the flood and remove or drain the water.
