How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Foley

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

   Submersible pumps go in at the lowest spot, and hoses carry the water to a drain or a yard away from the foundation.

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

   Drywall that wicked water is cut above the wet edge so the framing can dry. The crew removes only what the readings call for.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   The slab dries slowly, so the crew watches it closely. Concrete can hold water long after the surface looks dry.
