I prepped the surface- you might need some concrete leveler, bought a gallon of concrete stain and wet-look concrete sealer.

The FD came in, smashed everyones doors in, and sprayed 800 gallons of water up into her ceiling, which surprisingly only mildly affected mine.  

Even someone is coming from 500 miles away 1000 miles round trip in a car getting 25 mpg is only 40 gallons, so even $1 more per gallon is negligible. 

I just cringe at the 25 gallon tank.

Get a few gallons of super paint for $1 for the subfloors, Kilz Premium for the walls. 

If no back up and just a smell, pouring a gallon or two of water down each floor drain in the basement can often help with that. 

Great flashlights and extra batteries that fit, super long extender ladder, korkers/or other brands over shoe to go over your steel toe boots, GFCI tester, moisture meter, a dog nose, an extender mirror, shovel to check foundation moisture, respirator as some properties have gross smells or chemical exposure, regular retractable tape measure forget the laser one, 5 gallon bucket, zip lock baggies, brown paper bags, putty knife, variety of screw drivers,Are you checking basements?

. $1100 for a 50 gallon gas one installed same day in Easter Sunday was the most I’ve ever paid. $700-850 is the “usual rate”.

-Used 19 gallons of paint due to an extra coat being needed as we were going from a darker color to lighter in on area

The first leak when water was turned off I purchased her some drinking water and gallons so they could flush toilets, brush teeth.
