Walking down your stairs to find ankle-deep water is a shock every homeowner dreads. Whether it’s from a heavy Texas storm overwhelming your sump pump or a burst pipe in the ceiling, a flooded basement is a serious structural threat that requires immediate action.
At Arlington Water Damage Restoration, we specialize in basement flood restoration, providing the speed and expertise needed to protect your home’s foundation and your family’s health. From North Arlington to the Entertainment District, our extraction teams are on standby 24/7 to pump out the water and dry your space before problems escalate.
Basement Flood Services We Provide
Basements are unique environments that trap moisture. Our comprehensive restoration process covers everything needed to make your space safe, dry, and usable again. We handle water damage in basements across neighborhoods like West Arlington and Randol Mill. Services include:
Water Extraction & Removal
Speed is everything. We use powerful submersible pumps and industrial wet-vacs to remove standing water in minutes, preventing it from wicking up into your drywall and framing.
Drying & Dehumidification
Basements have poor airflow. We install high-velocity air movers and LGR dehumidifiers to forcefully circulate dry air, eliminating moisture from concrete floors and walls.
Mold Remediation
Damp basements are breeding grounds for mold. We inspect for fungal growth and perform safe removal following EPA guidelines to ensure your basement air quality remains healthy for your family.
Structural Repairs
Floodwater ruins materials. We strip out damaged drywall, insulation, and flooring, and perform the necessary repairs to restore your basement’s structural integrity.
Content Cleaning
We help salvage and clean personal items, furniture, and boxes stored in your basement that were affected by the flood, restoring them whenever possible.
Odor Control
Basement floods often leave a “wet dog” or musty smell. We use professional deodorization treatments to neutralize odors at the molecular level.
When to Call for Basement Restoration
You need professional help immediately if you experience standing water after a heavy rainfall in South Arlington, a sump pump failure, or a sewage backup. Signs of hidden trouble include damp patches on concrete walls, persistent musty odors, or visible mold spotting in corners.
Don’t wait. Acting fast minimizes costs. Ideally, you should call us after any flood incident. While preventive maintenance (like annual sump pump checks) is key, once the water is in, professional extraction is the only way to guarantee the structure is dry.
How to Handle a Basement Flood
If you just discovered water in your basement, follow these steps to stay safe until we arrive:
Prioritize Safety
Do not step into standing water if there are electrical outlets or appliances submerged. Turn off the electricity to the basement from the main breaker panel upstairs first.
Call the Pros
Call us immediately. We can typically arrive within the hour to start pumping out the water, which is critical for homes near the UTA campus vicinity.
Document the Damage
Take pictures or video of the water level and damaged items for your insurance claim. Do not throw anything away until the adjuster has seen it (or photos of it).
