Flooring that buckled or swelled is removed. Tile and sealed concrete can often be cleaned and dried in place.
Emergency Basement Flooding
Help is available any hour when water is rising in the basement from a storm, a sewer backup or a burst pipe.

Basement Wall Drying
Concrete and block walls dry with directed airflow and dehumidification, which pull water out of the masonry.

Surfaces touched by dirty water are disinfected, and dehumidifiers keep humidity low.
