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.

Choosing A Water Damage Restoration Company
Most people, when they suffer from a flood on their property due to rainwater flooding, pipe bursts or more severe flooding in their area, panic and call the first name that they find in the newspaper ads or in the Yellow Pages. The fact is that you don't know much about these water damage restoration contractors, and you have no idea if they'll be the right people for the job. There's a lot more involved in flood damage restoration service that simply drying out the water. There's structural damage that has to be prevented immediately, and toilet and sewer clean up to be done. There is the issue of black mold formation to deal with and the de odorizing of the premises to take care of. Structural drying, restoring of possessions to their pre flood state =- all these are important parts of the water restoration process, and only a thorough professional, who has experience in these matters can give you the kind of results that are needed.
Your flood damage restoration specialist should come with the licensing requirements of his trade. Is he WLI or IICRC certified? Is he bonded and insured? How many years has he been handling water damage restoration service projects in Tucson? Does he handle a bulk of his work in Tucson or is he an outsider to the areas? You should preferably choose some one who has a local base, and is better equipped to deal with local weather problems that may affect the restoration process. How many projects like yours has he handled? Does he have the resources to handle a project on the same scale as yours? If he has only handled a small scale water damage restoration project that involve pipe leaks or bursts, then he might not have the capabilities to handle large scale flood damage problems, but may be perfect for smaller scale water damage restoration jobs.
Once you have all his details adown, do some research to verify their accuracy. Check up on the validity of his certifications. Your water damage restoration specialist should be certified by the Water Loss institute, Institute of Inspection or the Cleaning and Restoration Certification. Go to the websites of these organizations, and verify his credentials. An experienced water damage restoration contractor who has been in the business a while will have no problem giving you a list of references of satisfied clients, and their telephone numbers. Call these numbers, and talk to these clients. Ask them about their experiences with the water extraction service contractor you're considering. Did he complete the project on time and as scheduled?
