The first step is to assess the damage and determine what needs to be done to get your basement back in working order. You may need to remove any standing water, dry out the area, repair any damaged walls or floors, and then start the cleaning process. Depending on the extent of the flooding, you may need to hire a professional contractor to help with the cleanup. Make sure to take precautions when handling hazardous materials such as mold and mildew, which can cause health problems if not properly cleaned and disposed of.
