How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Posen
The clock starts when the water arrives, not when it is noticed. A basement that flooded while the family was away may already be past the first 48 hours.
-
Remove the standing water
If the ground outside is saturated, the crew may lower the water level in stages so the walls are not stressed.
-
Trace where the water went
Water climbs drywall above the visible stain. The technician measures up the wall to find where the moisture stops.
-
Take out what cannot dry
Drywall that wicked water is cut above the wet edge so the framing can dry. The crew removes only what the readings call for.
-
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.
