How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Lyerly

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.

1. Remove the standing water

   Before any machine runs, the crew checks for live power and gas smells. Equipment is set up on safe power, never on a wet outlet.

2. Trace where the water went

   The technician checks wall bases, door frames and the slab edge with a moisture meter. The readings show how far the water traveled.

3. Take out what cannot dry

   Baseboards may be pulled to let air reach the bottom of the wall. They can be put back or replaced after drying.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   At the end, the crew hands over the moisture logs and the list of work. Those pages support the insurance claim and the rebuild.
