How Flooded Basement Flood Water Removal Works in Buckholts

1. Remove the standing water

   Basement pump-out lowers the water so materials can be assessed.

   The crew traces saturation through carpet, pad and underlying layers.

3. Open what holds water

   Contaminated porous materials often require careful removal.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records progress until affected materials meet the drying plan.
