How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Altadena

Wet cardboard, books and fabric are among the first things mold uses. Carrying them to a dry place slows the problem while the crew handles the water.

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

   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

Ask the adjuster before throwing out ruined items. Some insurers want to see or count damaged belongings first. Photographs and a written list usually cover that step.

• The homeowner photographs the waterline before anything is moved
• Ask the insurer which repairs need approval first
