Finished Basement Flooded in Columbus, KS

This flooded basement was a result of a failed sump pump. The property was a bank owned foreclosure so the issue was exacerbated by infrequent visits to check the property. 

Because the issue was not discovered for some time proper mitigation services were not started and a water issue quickly escalated into a mold problem.

While severe, the water damaged could have been minimized if discovered and properly mitigation and drying could have started in a timely manner. Most losses of this nature do not require extensive demolition or reconstruction. 

Because of the circumstances on this project however, the basement was stripped down to framing materials and treated for microbial growth.
