How to Clean Basement Concrete Floor after Flood?

If your basement has been flooded, you’ll need to act quickly to clean and disinfect the concrete floor. The longer the water sits, the more damage it can do to the concrete and the more difficult it will be to clean. Here are the steps to follow when cleaning a basement concrete floor after a flood:

  • Remove any standing water. Use a wet/dry vacuum to remove as much water as possible from the floor.
  • Clean the floor with a bleach solution. Mix one part bleach to ten parts water in a bucket. Use a mop or sponge to apply the solution to the floor and let it sit for five minutes. Then, rinse the floor thoroughly with clean water.
  • Dry the floor completely. Use a fan or dehumidifier to dry the floor completely. This is an important step to prevent mold and mildew from growing.

For best results, it is highly recommended to contact a professional contractor who specializes in water damage restoration. They would be able to assess the extent of the damage and provide you with a detailed estimate of the cost to clean and repair your basement.
