With all of the torential rains, flooding, high winds, tornadoes, etc, etc here in Iowa, it seems amazing that we made it through the end of June with no problems. However, the problem caught up to us and now we are paying (a deductible) for it. The photos are of our basement which flooded Sunday night. Since the electricity went out we were without a sump pump for 9 hours. We had a small river in our basement which managed to wreak havoc on nearly everything. Our furniture, sub woofer, entertainment center, book case, along with several other things are currently being stored in our garage until the adjuster can come look at it and assess the total cost of damage.
Service Master came out today and pulled up the carpet, tore out and disposed of the carpet pad, punched holes in the wall to dry the insides of the wall out, sprayed anti-mold foam on everything, and cleaned up the dirt and sand that washed in. I am gratefuly they did all the work!!
These are before pictures. You can see where the water is by the color difference in the carpet. The darker areas of carpet are where it is wet. If you can't see a color difference it is because all of the carpet in the picture is wet. 95% of the basement carpet is wet.
