How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Galivants Ferry
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.
-
Remove the standing water
Submersible pumps go in at the lowest spot, and hoses carry the water to a drain or a yard away from the foundation.
-
Trace where the water went
Water climbs drywall above the visible stain. The technician measures up the wall to find where the moisture stops.
-
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.
-
Dry the structure and verify
Equipment comes out only when the readings match the dry reference. A dry feel to the touch is not enough proof.
