How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Calpine

Cool, damp basement air slows drying and gives mold time to take hold. Pumping and dehumidifying early takes away the moisture it needs.

1. Remove the standing water

   Water from a sewer backup is handled in gloves, boots and protective clothing, and the discharge goes where local rules allow.

2. Trace where the water went

   A thermal camera shows cool, wet patches behind finishes. The crew marks them and decides where the drying equipment goes.

3. Take out what cannot dry

   Cardboard, paper and soaked upholstery are sorted away from the work area, and the owner decides what is thrown out.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Equipment comes out only when the readings match the dry reference. A dry feel to the touch is not enough proof.
