Flooded Basement Co.
Flooded Basement Cleanup in Des Moines, IA
Basement water extraction, drying, and moisture control for Des Moines homeowners. Flooded basements are all we do.
A flooded basement is its own kind of problem. Water collects at the lowest point of the house, sits against concrete and framing, and drives up humidity through the whole home. Flooded Basement Co. focuses specifically on flooded basements in the Des Moines metro, handling extraction, drying, and moisture control from start to finish.
What floods a Des Moines basement
- Sump-pump failure or a power outage during a storm
- Heavy central-Iowa rain overwhelming drainage
- Seepage through foundation walls or the floor slab
- Sewer or drain backups into the lower level
- Supply-line and water-heater failures
Our basement process
-
Assess the water
We identify the source and category of water and how far it has spread across the slab and up the walls.
-
Extract
Standing water is removed so drying can start on the structure.
-
Dry and dehumidify
Air movers and dehumidifiers pull moisture from the slab, walls, and air, tracked with readings.
-
Control moisture and clean
We address humidity and clean affected surfaces, confirming hidden areas are dry.
Finished basements need care
A finished lower level adds carpet, pad, drywall, and built-ins that hold water and hide it from view. Part of the job is measuring moisture behind and beneath those finishes and deciding what can be dried in place versus removed, so nothing wet gets sealed back up.
Focused on basements
Because flooded basements are all we do, the process is dialed in for below-grade spaces, from slab drying to humidity control. We work with homes and smaller commercial properties across the Des Moines metro.
Can you document the damage for insurance?
Yes, we record moisture readings and photos that homeowners commonly share with their insurer.
