Dealing with a Flooded Basement?
Damage caused water in your home or property can turn your life upside down in a matter of minutes. Many insurance companies take their time to respond, but we respect the urgency of your situation and can quickly offer a helping hand with expert restoration services that allow you to regain a sense of normalcy and control.
Call Grief Relief if last night’s torrential downpour has ended up in your basement and we can be on-site in a moment. Rapid response allows us to quickly access the situation and begin to work on the cleanup to avoid any additional damages.
We use pumps, dehumidifiers and hard work to mop away every last drop of water. At the end of every job, we help with solutions to disinfect the affected area to prevent mould growth.

What to Consider When Dealing with a Flooded Home
Flooding in a basement or a home can quickly become a very dangerous scenario and is best left to a professional cleaning team that is familiar with the hazards.
An additional danger to consider is that water can quickly become contaminated if it mixes with materials that have become saturated or submerged as a result of the flooding.
One more consideration is that water reaching electrical outlets and appliances make for a dangerous combination. It’s vital to assess the situation properly and take the time to apply any safety precautions.
Common Causes of Water Damage
Flooding can occur at any time during the year for a variety of reasons.
Burst Pipes
Pipes that have not been properly cared for can freeze over the winter and then burst as warm temperatures arrive. This can quickly cause a lot of water to flood through the house, depending on the location of the pipe.
Melting Snow or Rainstorm
Spring is a time when there is lots of melting snow that has to go somewhere. If there are issues with the foundation or grading of your home, the spring melt can quickly end up in your basement. The same goes for torrential rainstorms throughout the summer.
Structural issues with the home
Moisture in the ground can find its way into your home or business if there are structural issues with the home.
Damaged Appliances
A broken or leaking dishwasher or washing machine that is unattended can quickly flood your home, basement or laundry room.
Sewage Backup
The most severe type of floods is when there are issues with sewage backing up. Because of issues with contamination, these situations require a much more careful approach and services from a professional cleaning company.

FAQs
How much does it cost to fix water damage?
Costs for cleanup and restoration will depend on the extent of the flooding. A small flood may only cause several hundreds of dollars worth of damage, while a large flood can quickly cause several thousands of dollars of damage. The important thing is to quickly take control of the situation through help from a water damage restoration company to avoid the bill going any higher with time.
How common is water damage?
Most homeowners will deal with water damage at some point in their lives. There are many different reasons for why an issue with water may occur, from damaged pipes to a leaky appliance. Taking steps to proactively maintain infrastructure in the house is key — as well as acting quickly if any situation does occur.
How much water does it take to cause damage?
Depending on where the flooding has occurred and what was stored in that room, even a very small flood can be a big problem. Without proper cleaning, moisture can set into the home and lead to issues with bad odours and mould. The best way to fully understand the extent of the damage and to avoid long term consequences is to work with a professional cleaning company like Grief Relief.
