Flooded Basement Water Removal Questions in Assumption
What happens to the furnace and water heater in a Assumption flood?
The crew keeps the area safe and dries around them. An HVAC technician or plumber checks any unit that sat in water before it is turned back on. Never restart wet equipment alone.
Can a basement be pumped out at night in Assumption?
Yes. Call (888) 532-8620 at any hour, 24/7. Tell the crew the depth, the source and whether the power is on, and stay out of water that touches outlets.
Can belongings from a flooded Assumption basement be saved?
