Flooded Basement Solutions 2! Flood Damage Resistant Basement!

This is the second part of the series showing aftermath of flooded basement remediation. Our basement flooded after we got hit by Hurricane Ida. In this series, I show how I dealt with the aftermath of the flood and What to Do when your basement floods by DIYing everything that was urgently necessary to save your basement and create a flood damage resistant basement! My insurance was not covering the damage so I decided to take action asap before mold and mildew take over the space. My basement got about 2-3 inches of water so this video is about for small floods like mine. If you have a major flood issue what I do here may not apply to your situation but you can still get some ideas and tips. I have two parts to this video as it's a long process doing it all by myself. In part I, I open up the walls and treat them with mold control product. In part II, I am closing the walls back up with a flood friendly system! Good luck with your flood remediation process! You will save tons of money by DIYing this!

You are amazing! What a brilliant idea! Hope you won’t have to go thru another flooding.

I hope so too! Thank you so much for your flattering comment😊🥰

Did this actually do the job?

[@sandywjo5]

Beautiful work! Sorry if you mentioned it and I missed it, but what is the brand and type of flooring you have down? I have yet to find anything that will not need to be ripped out for a flood as mold growth can start in 24 hours.

[@jamesrempel1455]

Did you shim the 2 x 4's and install the pvc against the drywall or did you cut the drywall exactly at 8" and slip the pvc underneath?

You need to put a handful of marbles on the floor the lowest point have them build a sump pump it’ll be the best thing you ever did in your life they last 10 years they’re only about $85 to replace them as they burn out don’t wait for that by the way and you’ll never never have to worry againput it in a plug that is designated for

Thank you! Its Concrobium mold control spray much better than bleach its effect lasts much longer!
