How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Watauga

Mold needs moisture, food and time. A flooded basement supplies the first two at once, so the third is the only one anyone controls. Fast water removal is that control.

1. 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.

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

   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

   Dehumidifiers and air movers run around the clock. LGR or desiccant units pull moisture out of the cool basement air.
