Basketball Court in Basement Floods

1/18/2018 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Benton, Jasper, Newton and Southern Lake Counties scored some points on the basketball court. We were called in for sump pump failure and water damage to a basement. This was no ordinary basement. The basement was equipped with a unique basketball court and 17’ ceilings. Water had seeped into the tiles and padding underneath.  The owner was concerned that there would be mold. We had to throw away the rubber padding and rubber base because they would prevent the materials behind them from drying. The tiles were detached and cleaned with an antimicrobial agent. Carpeting lined the walls. We were able to dry the carpeting in place. Air movers were brought in to dry the carpeting and the cement floor.  SERVPRO was proud to make this unique basement safe for the homeowner.
