How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Port Chester

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.

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

   Water climbs drywall above the visible stain. The technician measures up the wall to find where the moisture stops.

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

   Dehumidifiers and air movers run around the clock. LGR or desiccant units pull moisture out of the cool basement air.
