P

Removing Basement Water

Submersible pumps remove the bulk of the water, then extractors pull it from carpet, pad, and corners the pump cannot reach.

W

Flood Cuts in Finished Basements

Wet drywall and insulation come out so the studs and foundation wall can breathe.

D

Drying a Wet Basement Floor

Concrete gives off moisture for days, so dehumidifiers keep running until the slab tests dry.

Cleaning After a Drain Backup

If water came up through a floor drain, it may be contaminated. Affected materials are removed and surfaces disinfected before drying.
