How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Waverly

Cool, damp basement air slows drying and gives mold time to take hold. Pumping and dehumidifying early takes away the moisture it needs.

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

   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

   Wet insulation holds water against the studs and slows drying. It comes out and is bagged with the other soaked material.

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.
