• Finished Basement Flood Water Removal

  Flood water slips under flooring and wicks up the drywall, so the crew reads every layer, not just the surface.

• Flooded Basement Carpet Water Removal

How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Helm

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. A basement holds drywall, carpet, wood and cardboard, which gives it plenty to feed on.

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

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