How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Westhampton

The EPA advises drying wet materials within 24 to 48 hours. In a flooded Westhampton basement, that window is why the pump-out and the dehumidifiers go in together.

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 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

   Carpet pad soaked by dirty water is cut out and bagged. Carpet itself may be saved or discarded depending on the water category.

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.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Standard homeowners policies usually leave out flood damage, which is why a separate flood policy exists. Even flood policies often limit what they pay for in a basement. Ask the insurer which items and finishes count.

• Save weather reports from the day of the storm
• Keep the plumber's cause report apart from the crew's records
• Write down every phone call with the insurer

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