How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Colton

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.

1. Remove the standing water

   A trash pump handles water carrying silt, leaves and grit. The crew chooses between pump types based on what the water holds.

2. Trace where the water went

   The crew sketches the basement and notes the readings room by room, which gives the insurance file a clear record.

3. 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.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Air movers aim along the wall bases and across the floor. Good airflow lifts moisture out of the lower wall.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Standard homeowners policies usually leave out flood damage, which is why a separate flood policy exists. Even flood policies often limit what they pay for in a basement. Ask the insurer which items and finishes count.

• Keep every invoice for pumping, extraction and drying
• Check the policy for a water backup endorsement
• Save weather reports from the day of the storm

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
