Also, a wet-or-dry vacuum will help if there is still any water at all, and if you have only your house/apt. flooded, everywhere else outside is dry, some fire departments could be asked to help.
Fire departments have big, high volume fans for taking smoke out of buildings, they might help you .
God bless your efforts.

SOURCE: my basement flooded and now my gas water heater

Was the gas valve under water? If so it must be replaced. If not, and you're sure you are holding in the button for at least 30 seconds after the pilot is lit, the pilot will need to be removed disassembled and cleaned. Also, the thermocouple may or may not be bad, replace it anyway (for the cost @ Lowes etc just not worth it).

Testimonial: "I will try what you suggested."

Hi; I have a Skil hedge trimmer model 518H2 that got under water when the basement flooded - now does not work - can it be fixed - how - or do i just buy a new one; Thanks sawent under ,,erq Kil

Remove spark plug and allow everything to completely dry. Check oil, if water in oil, replace oil. Heat up plug with a torch or lighter to get rid of any moisture. Then reinstall. Fresh gas should do the trick.

Hello, my dryer got wet due to my basement flooding and it starts, but no heat.

It is highly risky to use any electric appliance even after the removal of flood water. Before using it you need to make sure that it is not wet from either inside or outside. Even a single drop of water can cause a short circuit at you home and can also lead to unfortunate event. In such case you need to search for a company like http://floodfixer.com/ that dries wet basements to ensure your safety. Professionals can bring your valuable possessions back to its original position and make them ready for reuse.

Refrigerator was in the basement with 6" of water....

The electric parts that got wet will need to be dried out. Try putting a flood light etc. shining on the bottom for a few days to see if it will dry it out, then turn it back on and listen for a click from the compressor relay as the compressor tries to start. Is the compressor motor running.If no check starter/overload relay.
Check to see if the condenser fan at the back underneath near the compressor is running. If no check fan.

Are the condenser coils near there warm or room temp. should be warm


How to check stuff>
