Heavy Downpour on Ibiza – Floodwaters, Damage and the Question of Preparedness

Answer

What should you do if your basement or garage floods in Mallorca?

If water enters a basement or garage, the priority is safety: switch off electricity only if it can be done without risk, stay out of deep water, and keep clear of damaged wiring or appliances. Photograph the damage for insurance as soon as it is safe, then remove water and damp items quickly to reduce mold. In Mallorca, many flood problems get worse when moisture stays trapped for days.
