Waterproofing basement walls and floors can be a long and arduous process. That’s why homeowners and business owners in the Westfield, Indiana, area have come to rely on Jaco Waterproofing for all of their waterproofing and foundation repair needs. Since opening for business over 40 years ago, Jaco Waterproofing has been focused on helping local residents maintain safe and water-free homes. If you’ve recently experienced water damage in your basement, here are three proactive tips to deal with the issue from the pros at Jaco Waterproofing:

• Remove Excess Water: If you notice water in your basement, your very first step should be to remove as much excess water as possible from the area. Using mops, sponges, towels, and other absorbing tools, try to get the area clear of water if at all possible.
• Gather Loose Items: Most people tend to store items in their basement. If you have precious keepsakes, art, or other items in your basement, do your best to gather them up and get them to a dry place. If the weather is good outside, consider setting certain items outdoors to dry out. Try to remove as much debris as you can from the floors.
• Prop Up Furniture: If you have furniture in the basement and water is still rising, it’s important to get it out of harm’s way. If the flooding is only a few inches, consider propping your furniture up on wooden blocks or plastic so furniture legs are protected and stay dry.
