Why this page exists
Use this page when basement water affects flooring, drywall, baseboards, stored contents, mechanical areas, or rooms connected to the lower level.
Local property context
Finished basements and older lower-level spaces can hide wet baseboards, insulation, framing, contents, and floor transitions.
The first inspection should distinguish storm entry, plumbing source, floor drain or sump conditions, and visible migration into adjacent areas.
Sewage or contaminated water is handled by inspection and site conditions, with specialty handling reviewed before work proceeds.

Questions before inspection
Can NovaPro handle sewage in a Philadelphia basement?
Sewage or contaminated water cleanup in a Philadelphia basement is available by inspection. NovaPro first confirms site conditions, safety concerns, affected materials, and whether specialty handling is needed before recommending work. Keep people and pets away from affected areas when possible, avoid disturbing materials, and document visible conditions. The inspection determines appropriate next steps.
Should basement contents be moved right away?
If safety allows, photograph affected basement contents before moving them and note which items were wet or in standing water. NovaPro documents contents separately from building materials, moisture readings, and drying recommendations during inspection. Avoid moving materials near electrical hazards or contaminated water until site conditions and specialty handling needs have been reviewed.
