How Flooded Basement Flood Water Removal Works in Homerville

1. Remove the standing water

   The crew isolates dirty water before clearing the affected area.

2. Map the moisture

   Contaminated porous materials often require careful removal.

• Do not enter deep water or approach submerged electrical equipment.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
