How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Whatley
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
A trash pump handles water carrying silt, leaves and grit. The crew chooses between pump types based on what the water holds.
-
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
Baseboards may be pulled to let air reach the bottom of the wall. They can be put back or replaced after drying.
-
Dry the structure and verify
The slab dries slowly, so the crew watches it closely. Concrete can hold water long after the surface looks dry.
