How to Drain a Flooded Basement

Monday September 15, 2008
First of all my heart and prayers go out to you if you have been affected by the recent Hurricanes affecting our southern coast. Major flood damage to a home is one of the most emotionally and physically difficult catastrophes you can face.

Removing water from a flooded basement is not a simple task and if done incorrectly (such as removing the water too fast) can cause structural failure to your home. In this tutorial How to Drain a Flooded Basement, I'll walk you through the steps you need to go through to safely pump out the water from your basement and make sure the house does not undergo structural damage in the process.
