This home had a newly renovated basement movie theater. At SERVPRO of Mankato / Owatonna we focus on restoration vs replacement. When we can we extract and dry carpet while removing only padding to save the homeowner the cost of replacement. While this is not the case for every situation, here, we were able to save the lovely new carpet after serious basement flooding.

This home flooded after Mankato was hit with a "Mega Rain" on July 25-26. After the torrential rain, hundreds of homes were in the same situation.

While this home was empty, water made its way into the house and between the drywall and paint, creating a pocket of water. Not all disasters can be avoided, but you may consider following these tips to help prevent water damage while you're away:

1. Turn off the main water valve or other water supply valves - If you've never done this before, try it before leaving your home.
2. Invest in a "house-sitter" or leak detecting sensor - Have someone check on your house while you're away. If you already have someone coming to water your plants or take care of your pets, ask them to do a walk-through of your home to make sure everything is exactly how you left it. Sensors can also help you monitor your home.
3. Check your sump pump and gutters - Test your sump pump to make sure it is working properly. Walk around your house and make sure nothing is blocking your gutters.
