How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Grand Haven

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

   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

   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.
