in The flooding basement on faboo mama
Which step do you believe is the most important to the cleanup process? We recently had a flooded basement and it's still a mess.

faboomama I rented a sump pump. It wasn't until we got the water level down did we realize the previous owners had left behind one. Once we got the water level down to about 4 inches, we used a shop vac to get the rest of it out. Our basement is all concrete, so we don't have to worry about mildew in drywall and all that stuff. I then turned on all our fans and ran them for 3 days. We have 4 of them, so that worked. Otherwise, I would have had to rent a more powerful fan. We did all of this outside of the house via the egress window.

Good luck on cleaning everything up. Our basement flooded again recently (about 2 inches this time), but this time I didn't have newspapers sitting over the drain hole (go me!). The only problem was that a little piece of plastic was clogging the hole. Once I got that out, we had to use the push broom to get the water to the drain since the floor was now heaved from being swollen with water.

in 5 Common Hiding Places for Black Mold | Charles and Hudson on Charles & Hudson
How difficult is it to remove black mold on your own? Is it better to call someone in to do it or can I get it done myself?

Are there any specific tools I may need?

in Local Newspapers Are NOT Dead, But They Must Evolve on odd time signatures
I don't think print media is dead so to speak but I do think it is on life support at least for national and world news. Local is a different story.
