What to do if my basement is flooded?
One of your first concerns would be to remove the water, but how to do this successfully and with out a big mess?
Not only does a wet basement feel and smell nasty, it poses a great risk to your home's value. Left unchecked, basement moisture can ruin floors and walls, encourage mold, even damage roofing.

Checking Gutters Often
Some wet basements are easy to cure simply by clearing gutters and by diverting gutter water away from the foundation. But if the problem comes from other sources--water flowing toward the house on the surface, seeping in from underground, or backing up through municipal storm drains--you must take more aggressive action.
