How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Alma
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
If the ground outside is saturated, the crew may lower the water level in stages so the walls are not stressed.
-
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.
-
Take out what cannot dry
Baseboards may be pulled to let air reach the bottom of the wall. They can be put back or replaced after drying.
-
Dry the structure and verify
On each visit the technician reads the same marked spots again. Falling numbers mean the plan works, and flat numbers mean the plan changes.
