Flooding - Basement

Immediate Actions

Contact Grimsby Power at 905-945-5437 to have your power shut off to prevent shock or electrocution in the event that water has risen above outlets, near the electrical panel, furnace, etc.

If you suspect the flooding could be the result of a sewer back-up, do not use toilets and sinks unless it is absolutely necessary until the issue has been resolved. Any water sent down the drain may end up in your basement.

Contact the Operations Centre at 905-945-9201. Town staff will inspect the problem, assess the flooding and attempt to determine the source(s) of the flooding.

Contact your home insurance company to establish if you are insured.

Health and Safety Considerations

Be mindful of your health and safety with a flooded basement. Homeowners could be exposed to waterborne diseases, corrosive cleaning agents and irritants found in leftover sludge from a flooded basement.

Electrical accidents may occur because of contact with water and electricity. Stay away from electrical equipment. Have a licensed electrical contractor assess the situation to determine if there are potential electrical hazards.

Water could extinguish a pilot light on a gas appliance. If you detect gas, leave the house immediately and contact the gas company.

If attempting to clean-up yourself:

1. Keep children and pets out of the affected area until cleanup has been completed.

2. Dress appropriately – wear full-length clothing, gloves, protective eyeglasses, rubber boots and a mask.

3. Discard all contaminated items that cannot be washed and disinfected (i.e. textiles).

4. Discard any packaged or non-packaged food items that may have come in contact with the flood waters.

5. Wash all surfaces with hot water and liquid detergent, rinse and thoroughly dry and ventilate the area.

6. Sanitize walls and floors using a solution of household bleach (mix 1 cup bleach with 5 gallons of water).

7. Wash all clothes worn during the cleanup in hot water and detergent.
