How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Apalachicola

Porous materials such as carpet pad and ceiling tile soaked by dirty water usually come out instead of drying. Taking them out removes both the moisture and the food.

1. Remove the standing water

   If the ground outside is saturated, the crew may lower the water level in stages so the walls are not stressed.

2. 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.

3. Take out what cannot dry

   Drywall that wicked water is cut above the wet edge so the framing can dry. The crew removes only what the readings call for.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   On each visit the technician reads the same marked spots again. Falling numbers mean the plan works, and flat numbers mean the plan changes.
