A loss involving water entering or collecting below grade may reach basement finishes, carpet pad, wall cavities and contents. Common calls involve finished basement flood, unfinished basement flood, and flooded basement carpet. The visible wet spot rarely shows the full path.

The source of a leak and its damage are separate jobs. A qualified trade fixes the source, and a water damage crew dries the structure.
