How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Buttonwillow

A musty smell after a flood is a warning, not a diagnosis. Moisture readings show where the wet materials are, and the crew removes what cannot dry.

1. Remove the standing water

   As the level drops, the crew watches for hazards the water was hiding: nails, broken glass and loose stair treads.

2. Trace where the water went

   Carpet, pad and flooring are checked from below as well as above, because a dry surface can sit over wet material.

3. Take out what cannot dry

   Wet insulation holds water against the studs and slows drying. It comes out and is bagged with the other soaked material.

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.
