What should I do first when my basement floods?
-
Stay out of unsafe water, avoid electrical hazards, stop the source if possible, take photos if safe, and call Romexterra for water removal and drying.
Can basement flooding cause mold?
+
Yes. Wet drywall, flooring, insulation, contents, and framing can support mold growth if moisture remains. Fast drying reduces risk but cannot guarantee mold prevention.
Is basement flooding covered by insurance?
+
Coverage depends on the source of water, your policy, and endorsements. We document the damage and work performed, but the carrier determines coverage.
How long does basement flooding cleanup take?
+
Timing depends on water volume, contamination, affected materials, drying time, and repair scope.
Do you handle sewage in basements?
+
Yes. Romexterra handles sewage cleanup and contaminated water restoration when Category 3 water affects a basement.
