How Finished Basement Flood Water Removal Works in Elmo

1. Remove the standing water

   The crew isolates dirty water before clearing the affected area.

2. Map the moisture

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

3. Open what holds water

   The technician explains material removal based on contamination and readings.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.

• Keep people off wet stairs and away from outlets at floor level.
• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
