The best way to clean up a flooded basement is to first identify the source of the water. If it is coming from a pipe, shut off the main valve and then turn on the faucet closest to the source. Once the water has stopped flowing, use a wet/dry vacuum or shop vac to remove as much water as possible. Next, mop up any remaining moisture with towels or rags, and dry out the area by using fans or dehumidifiers. Finally, inspect your basement for any damage caused by the flooding and repair or replace any necessary items.
