Our Proven 6-Step Basement Flooding Process

Shut Off Power and Clear the Pit

Power to the basement goes off before we step into the water. We clear the sump pit, check the float and the discharge line, and set a temporary pump if yours cannot run.

Extract the Carpet and Floor

Standing water is pulled with truck-mounted extraction, and we extract the carpet hard so the pad underneath gives up as much water as possible.

Decide What Stays and What Goes

We check the water source, the carpet, the pad and the bottom of the drywall. Clean water often lets us save the carpet; groundwater or drain water means it comes out. You hear our call before we cut anything.

Clean Up After Drain Water

If water came up through a floor drain, every surface it touched is cleaned and disinfected before drying starts, and the carpet and pad it reached are removed.

Dry the Finished Space in Place

Where it helps, we drill small holes behind the baseboard and push dry air into the wall cavities. Dehumidifiers and air movers run until every reading reaches its target.

Put the Basement Back Together

Baseboard, drywall, pad, carpet and paint go back in. Your adjuster gets our photos, daily readings and line-item scope.

Frequently Asked Questions — Basement Flooding in Hilliard

Does the City of Hilliard help with sewer backups? +

For some homes, yes. The city's sanitary backflow program is for homes with repeated sewer backups in heavy rain. The city checks its own main first, and the program can help pay for a backflow preventer on your line. It does not cover foundation seepage or a failed sump pump. Ask the city whether you qualify; we do the cleanup either way.

My sump pump is running again. Do I still need a cleanup crew? +

If water reached carpet, drywall or stored boxes, yes. The pump clears the floor, but the pad, the bottom of the walls and the framing stay wet. We measure them and tell you what needs drying and what can be left alone.

How long will the drying equipment stay in my basement? +

It depends on the materials and how long the water sat. We take readings every day and remove the equipment when every reading is dry, not on a fixed schedule. You hear from us each day about where things stand.

Can I run a shop vac and fans while I wait for you? +

A shop vac on a small puddle is fine if the power is off near the water. Fans alone tend to push wet air into the rest of the house, so leave the drying to us. Moving boxes off the floor and taking photos helps the most.
