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.
- Turn off the well pump at a dry switch if safe.
- 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.
