The basement has standing water and while product and goods all appear to be up on shelving and racks, there is still the risk of mold and mildew developing on product and materials (paper food contact items is the first to come to mind). Also, some white spillage (paint??) under and around five-gallon bucket in water — did not wade through water to investigate further, but this needs to be disposed of and water issue addressed (there is a large dehumidifier present).
