It is important to start the cleanup process quickly when a basement floods.  You want to help prevent water damage as much as possible, especially to your basement floor.  Make sure you and your family stay safe first and foremost. 

Here are some simple steps when you're experiencing a flooded basement:

1. Call Your Insurance Company: Your homeowner's insurance may cover this kind of extensive damage. Take pictures as soon as you see the damage so you both have a record of the damages.
2. Cut Off Power to Your Basement: Do this before checking anything, so you don’t end up getting electrocuted.
3. Stop The Source of the Water: Make sure you stop the water at the source to prevent further damage. If a pipe has burst make sure the water main is turned off. 
4. Pump the Standing Water Out of the Basement: Remove the standing water from your basement. Don’t enter the basement without personal protective equipment, you might get exposed to biohazards that can cause severe illness. If you have damaged, call  SERVPRO Natick Milford.
