Sorry guys, getting your basement flooded must suck, especially if its not expected...but mold is just as bad. I got mold the first year I moved in due to having an aquarium in the basement cause I rehab the up stairs. Didnt think much about it but as the water would evaporate from the aquarium it was causing mold thru out my basement. I had to do the bleach thing and went as strong as I could when mixing it with water...something I recomemnd, but make sure you wear a mask and goggles it gets real bad. The last two years have been mold free as far as visual mold, but I bet it's behind the walls..........The best thing for mold control is having central air.

Either that or a Fantech air exchanger. Fortunately I don't have a wet basement, but do have the air exchanger and de-humidifier going constantly and it works real well. The Fantech can fully exchange my entire basement with outside air 3-4 times a day, maybe more. No foul or musty smelling air, ever.

It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
