Cleanup that skips the drainage diagnosis just resets the clock until the next heavy rain — we treat identifying the actual cause as part of the job, not an optional upsell.
None of this changes for a small job either — the same standard applies whether it's a single-room basement flood cleanup call or a larger one.
We built this list around what typically goes wrong when basement flood cleanup gets handled by a generalist instead of a specialist.
