How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Somers
The clock starts when the water arrives, not when it is noticed. A basement that flooded while the family was away may already be past the first 48 hours.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Dry the structure and verify
Dehumidifiers and air movers run around the clock. LGR or desiccant units pull moisture out of the cool basement air.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Rain falling on frozen ground runs off instead of soaking in. That surface water flows toward the house and enters through cracks and window wells.

Flooded Basement Water Removal Questions in Somers
Are basement floods in WI covered by flood insurance?
A separate flood policy covers rising water from outside, and even those policies often limit what they pay for in a basement. Coverage depends on the policy, so check with your own insurer.
What should be photographed before the Somers crew starts?
Wide shots of each room, close shots of the waterline and damaged walls, the furnace and water heater, and wet belongings. Take them from dry footing, then call (888) 532-8620.
Can belongings from a flooded Somers basement be saved?
Hard items like tools, metal and plastic bins can usually be cleaned and dried. Cardboard, paper, upholstery and most items soaked by dirty water are usually thrown out. The crew helps sort them.
How long does drying take for a Somers basement?
Most basements need several days of equipment after the water is out, and concrete, block and finished rooms often take longer. The crew keeps the machines running until the moisture readings match the dry reference.
Can the Somers crew work while the storm continues?
Often yes, once the crew can work safely. Pumps can lower the water while rain falls, though the level may rise again until the storm eases. The crew plans around conditions at the property.
