Flooded Basement Water Removal
A flooded lower level is pumped out, then carpet, pad and wet drywall are extracted or removed and the space is dried with dehumidifiers.
Standing Water Removal
Standing water spreads under walls and into the next room. Extraction follows it until every wet floor is cleared.
