How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Point Of Rocks
The clock starts when the water arrives, not when it is noticed. A basement that flooded while the family was away may already be past the first 48 hours.
-
Remove the standing water
Water from a sewer backup is handled in gloves, boots and protective clothing, and the discharge goes where local rules allow.
-
Trace where the water went
The technician checks wall bases, door frames and the slab edge with a moisture meter. The readings show how far the water traveled.
-
Take out what cannot dry
Carpet pad soaked by dirty water is cut out and bagged. Carpet itself may be saved or discarded depending on the water category.
-
Dry the structure and verify
Equipment comes out only when the readings match the dry reference. A dry feel to the touch is not enough proof.
