Protect Your Belongings

Many people use their basement as storage for their contents. The basement is also the most common area for water damage. Even if the water damage doesn't start in the basement, it usually drains down to that level. We recommend keeping your contents off of the floor. Put shelving in your storage area, use pallets, or place your items in rubber totes to protect your contents. This way, everything will be more likely to be safe from damage. This will prevent your items to be the first things that the water touches and soaks into. The items still may need to be moved out so that mitigation can happen, but they won't be damaged.
