If water has consumed your basement, call SERVPRO of East Central Morris County immediately.

SERVPRO Techs Can Remove Basement Flooding Quickly in Morris Plains

When water saturates a Morris Plains property from burst pipes, storm damage, or other reasons, the water tends to recede quickly into the structure. However, unless a basement has a heavy-duty sump pump, standing water may need professional help for removal. 

Water damage restoration in a Morris Plains basement by SERVPRO can result in a better outcome than DIY methods. Towles, rags, mops, and consumer wet/dry vacs cannot match the extraction power in SERVPRO equipment. In the case of standing water, the technicians have equipment that works inside, such as submersible pumps or from the outside of the worksite by using the pulling power in a truck-mounted extractor. 

It is not uncommon for standing water to wreck a finished basement. Once water wicks into sheetrock, the walls need removal to just over the waterline. The one benefit is that when it comes time for repairs to the structure, this SERVPRO location has a general contractor license #13VH06046200 and can handle any of the necessary reconstruction once the basement gets dried and disinfected.
