Each service below has its own page for Leesburg, FL.

• Finished Basement Flood Water Removal

How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Leesburg

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.

1. Remove the standing water

   Before any machine runs, the crew checks for live power and gas smells. Equipment is set up on safe power, never on a wet outlet.

2. Trace where the water went

   Carpet, pad and flooring are checked from below as well as above, because a dry surface can sit over wet material.

3. 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.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Dehumidifiers and air movers run around the clock. LGR or desiccant units pull moisture out of the cool basement air.
