Basements are uncommon on Riverside's slab on grade lots, but the handful of older homes with a cellar or partial basement still flood hard when storms hit. All Restoration Solutions responds in about an hour with IICRC-standard extraction.
Truck mounted and portable pumps remove standing water from the basement or cellar while crews take initial moisture readings.
Dehumidifiers and air movers dry foundation walls, framing, and subfloor, with moisture tracked daily until safe.
Saturated storage items, old flooring, and any ruined drywall are removed, sorted, and disposed of properly.
Crews repair affected framing and surfaces and recommend grading, drainage, or sump improvements to prevent a repeat.
While help is on the way, these first steps, done only where it is safe, limit the damage and protect the insurance claim.
Shut the supply off at the source, or close the home's main valve if the source is not obvious. Stopping the flow limits the damage more than anything else.
Switch off electricity to the affected area, but only if the breaker can be reached without standing in or touching the water.
Get a crew dispatched right away. The sooner extraction and drying begin, the more flooring, drywall, and belongings can be saved.
Take photos and a short video of the water and the affected rooms before anything is moved, so the insurance claim starts strong.
Because true basements are rare here, cleanup costs vary widely, typically $1,500 to $7,000 depending on the size of the space, how long water sat, and whether framing or stored belongings were lost. Grading or drainage corrections to prevent a repeat are usually a separate cost. Most homeowner's policies cover sudden water intrusion; crews document the storm timeline for your adjuster.

No. The vast majority of Riverside homes are built on a concrete slab with no basement. A small number of older homes in Wood Streets and Victoria have a partial basement or root cellar, and those are the spaces this service covers.
Yes, and most of Riverside's older basements and cellars were never fitted with one. Without a sump system, groundwater or storm runoff that gets past the foundation has nowhere to go except across the floor, which is why fast extraction matters.
Most homeowner's policies cover sudden water intrusion from a storm or foundation failure, though damage from long term seepage or poor maintenance may be excluded. Crews document the storm timeline and damage to support your claim.
A small cellar or partial basement typically dries in 4 to 7 days once water is extracted and equipment is running. Crews track moisture in the foundation walls and framing daily until readings return to a safe range.
If your home has a true basement or cellar and has flooded once, a sump system with battery backup is worth discussing, along with correcting yard grading. Crews can walk you through options during the same visit.
Riverside crews are on call 24 hours a day, local and fast, and can be on the way within the hour.
