Other Unexpected problems with water damage

Oh No! Our basement is flooded.

We hope it never happens but many of us have went into our basement and seen it flooded. You start wondering how much damage it did and how extensive it is. However the water can have many hazards involved with it as well as more damage than you were expecting from things you may not have thought may be in the water.

Problems and Hazards

• Electrical wires and sockets that may be in the water creating an electrocution hazard
• Chemicals and cleaning agents that were in the basement now in the water
• If water has come in from outside it may have brought in dirt and grime
• If the sewer backed up there could be biohazards such as fecal matter
• Possible mold from the high moisture levels
• And many other possibilities depending on what you keep in your basement that is now in the water
