Spring cleaning takes a different meaning in Menomonie. Yes, the sun is shining, but with rising temperatures come rising water levels, which means more flooding. Flooding can happen in a blink of an eye, and before you know it, your basement or commercial building can be completely submerged with water.
Without proper cleanup, homes and businesses are vulnerable to severe water damage that affects not only your appliances and furniture but also your walls and flooring. Mold and mildew spread in unseen, hidden areas of your home or business, which cause poor air quality and expose your property to structural damage in your floors, walls, and ceiling.
Fortunately, there’s no need to panic—just call the experts. The basement waterproofing pros can protect your basement before any damage incurs. TRAC Solutions offers 24/7 emergency services in the western-Wisconsin area. So if you’re worried about your basement, don’t hesitate to call. Even if it’s in the middle of the night.
The waterproofing process can be tricky, so make sure to hire only IICRC and ASD-certified technicians. This ensures that the problem is addressed correctly the first time.
When the professionals arrive, they inspect your basement and document current or potential risks. Once they determine the vulnerable areas where water damage occurs, technicians write a plan and begin installing the necessary equipment.
Listed below are three methods that water damage cleanup companies offer to protect and prevent basement flooding.
Sumps pumps are an effective waterproofing system that keeps water from entering your basement interior. Once the water rises to a specific level, the pump moves the water away from your property’s slab foundation.
FYI
TRAC Solutions not only offer sump pumps in Menomonie and its surrounding areas, but they also install battery backups. So if a storm causes a power outage, water will still be pumped away from your basement.
Basement drainage systems are crucial in Menomonie because the snow melt and rain water build up below your property.
Technicians create a drain below the basement surface which absorbs any water crawling under the foundation. Unlike the sump pump, it automatically pumps the water away from the foundation— no matter the water level. This system prevents drainage problems like water runoff during heavy rainfall.
You’re sick and tired of seeing mold and mildew in your basement and cannot stand the musty odor any longer. Fortunately, basement dehumidifiers offer a long-term solution.
Even with a pump or drainage system, if humidity is present, mold and mildew will spread. Dehumidifiers control the moisture in the air and bring down the humidity levels. This system is effective throughout the humid summer months, and the damp cold months as well.
Before a water disaster occurs, contact a professional damage cleanup company. They have the expertise (and restoration certification) necessary to prevent basement water damage.
Not only will the experts install preventative equipment, but they also address any problems with black mold, structural damage, or any other problems related to water damage.
The most important thing? Do not wait! Save time, money, and energy and call the water damage cleanup professionals before disaster strikes.
