Storms that knock out power often bring the rain that floods basements, and the sump pump goes quiet at the worst moment. The pit overflows, the water spreads and nobody knows until the lights come back or someone checks the stairs.

If the water came from a washer, a water heater or a dishwasher, the appliance gets its own repair trade. The water removal crew starts on the flood while that trade deals with the machine.

How Power Outage Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Gallina

1. Remove the standing water

   Water from a sewer backup is handled in gloves, boots and protective clothing, and the discharge goes where local rules allow.

2. Trace where the water went

   The crew sketches the basement and notes the readings room by room, which gives the insurance file a clear record.

3. Take out what cannot dry

   Drywall that wicked water is cut above the wet edge so the framing can dry. The crew removes only what the readings call for.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   The slab dries slowly, so the crew watches it closely. Concrete can hold water long after the surface looks dry.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold needs moisture, food and time. A flooded basement supplies the first two at once, so the third is the only one anyone controls. Fast water removal is that control.

• Stay out of the basement, since power can return while the water is still there
• Turn off the main breaker only if the panel is dry and you can reach it standing on dry ground
• Run any generator outdoors, far from windows and doors, never in a basement or garage
• Photograph the pit, the waterline and the damage with your phone light
• Carry valuables up only if the stairs and floor are dry and safe
