How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Fort Montgomery

Drying does not undo mold that has already grown. It does stop new growth by bringing materials back to normal moisture, so the dehumidifiers keep running until the readings match.

1. 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.

2. Trace where the water went

   The crew sketches the basement and notes the readings room by room, which gives the insurance file a clear record.

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

   Air movers aim along the wall bases and across the floor. Good airflow lifts moisture out of the lower wall.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Census figures show 51% of the homes around Fort Montgomery date from before 1960, when stone and block foundations were common. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Fort Montgomery was built in the 1950s. Homes built before 1960 often sit on stone, brick or block foundations. Mortar joints age, and water finds its way through them during heavy rain.

Heavy snow piled against a wall melts straight into the soil next to the foundation. Moving it away from the house helps. The tenant reports the flood to the landlord right away. The landlord calls the crew or authorizes the tenant to do so.

• Check the policy for a water backup endorsement

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
