Sump pump failed basement flooded. Need someone to come out as soon as possible.

A downstairs basement bedroom had water run in from the egress window under the sill. The bedroom carpet was soaked and the drywall looks to be damaged. I sucked up about 2 gallons of water out of the carpet and it is mostly dry, but now I'm starting to notice a musty smell in the basement.

Out of all the areas in the kitchen where flood damage is likely to occur, it's the kitchen where the danger is likely to be extensive. The kitchen is home to a number of appliances that use water, like the refrigerator and dishwasher. These appliances beside the sink are connected to water supply pipes, and any leaks in these pipes are hard to detect. When a pipe bursts which often happens, it's often too late to mount protective measures, and the kitchen gets flooded.
The kitchen sink is the most prone to water leaks. Make sure that the drain of the sink is clear, and free from clogs. A heavily and frequently clogged drain and frequent use of plunger will only weaken the pipe, causing leaks. Check your refrigerator regularly for small leaks that could indicate a ruptured pipe. Do the same with your dishwasher -- check the hose connection to the water pipe. If you can afford to spend a little extra on the leak proof valves that newer dishwashers come with, make the investment. Add drip trays, stop valves and double skin hoses for extra protection for your dishwasher. Remember, flood damage in the kitchen is harder to repair, so a program of preventive maintenance will help you save you money later.
The extent of flood damage in your kitchen can be expensive to control. The appliances like your dishwasher and refrigerator, if they have been heavily waterlogged, may have to be replaced. The wiring may be damaged, leading to short circuiting. The floors will be heavily damaged, and the presence of water damaged kitchen cabinets will be expensive to restore.
