What Basement Flood After Rain Cleanup Includes in Caledonia

A storm can send water across a basement slab from more than one opening. The extraction crew identifies the spread, takes photos, and removes standing water before it moves into more finishes.

Foundation openings can change with settling and soil pressure. Interior drying should start while the exterior condition is being assessed, because waiting lets damp trim and padding hold water against the slab.
