How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Lithia

Wet cardboard, books and fabric are among the first things mold uses. Carrying them to a dry place slows the problem while the crew handles the water.

1. 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.

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

   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

   At the end, the crew hands over the moisture logs and the list of work. Those pages support the insurance claim and the rebuild.
