Yesterday’s storms brought back something a lot of us in the Green Bay area hoped we wouldn’t see again—flooded basements.
Just a few months ago, we were helping homeowners through the same situation, and yesterday I spent part of my day helping a neighbor after water found its way into their basement.
If you’re dealing with water today, here’s the most important piece of advice I can give you:
📸 Take photos and videos of everything before you move or throw anything away.
Document the water line, damaged belongings, flooring, drywall, and anything else that was affected. Those few extra minutes can make a big difference if you need to file an insurance claim later.
The second thing to remember is this:
💧Just because the water is gone doesn’t mean the moisture is.
Water can travel behind drywall, soak insulation, get beneath flooring, and remain trapped in places you can’t see. Drying the visible water is only part of the process.
We’ve worked alongside homeowners and insurance companies through enough of these situations to know that the best outcomes almost always come from slowing down, documenting everything, and making informed decisions before repairs begin.
That’s exactly why we created our homeowner consulting service—to help people understand what’s happening before they commit to expensive decisions.
If your basement was affected yesterday and you’re not sure what your next step should be, don’t guess.
Even if all you need is an experienced opinion, we’re happy to point you in the right direction.
Stay safe, Green Bay. Hopefully Mother Nature gives us all a break for a while.
