How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Buckholts

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. A basement holds drywall, carpet, wood and cardboard, which gives it plenty to feed on.

1. Remove the standing water

   A trash pump handles water carrying silt, leaves and grit. The crew chooses between pump types based on what the water holds.

2. Trace where the water went

   A thermal camera shows cool, wet patches behind finishes. The crew marks them and decides where the drying equipment goes.

3. Take out what cannot dry

   Wet insulation holds water against the studs and slows drying. It comes out and is bagged with the other soaked material.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Air movers aim along the wall bases and across the floor. Good airflow lifts moisture out of the lower wall.
