Who cleans up a flooded basement in Prince George?

PG Restorations provides 24/7 basement flood cleanup in Prince George. We remove water and sewage, take out soaked materials, disinfect, dry the structure with commercial equipment and rebuild finished basements. Call (778) 281-2407.

Basements flood here for a few common reasons: burst or frozen pipes during cold snaps, failed sump pumps during spring melt, high groundwater, and sewer backups after heavy rain.

Whatever the cause, speed matters. Standing water soaks drywall and insulation, and mould can start within 24 to 48 hours. We get the water out the same day and keep drying until moisture readings are back to normal. See our full flood damage restoration service.

Basement Flood Cleanup FAQ

What should I do first if my basement floods?

Stay out of the water if outlets or appliances may be wet. Turn off power to the basement at the breaker if you can reach it safely, stop the water source if it is inside the house, take photos for insurance, and call a restoration company to pump out the water.

How long does basement flood cleanup take?

Water removal is usually done the first day. Drying takes about 3 to 5 days. Rebuilding a finished basement can take one to several weeks depending on the size.

Is sewer backup cleanup different?

Yes. Sewage is contaminated water, so soaked carpet, underpad, drywall and insulation are removed, and every surface is cleaned and disinfected before drying.

Does insurance cover a flooded basement in BC?

A burst pipe is usually covered. Sewer backup and overland flood are often optional add-ons. Check your policy, and we will document the damage for your claim.
