How Rain Intrusion Flood Water Removal Works in Fairview

1. Remove the standing water

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

2. Map the moisture

   Recorded measurements set a baseline for the dry-out.

3. Open what holds water

   Insulation that cannot dry safely is taken out before equipment runs.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Removing standing water quickly gives the drying crew a better chance to limit prolonged dampness.

• Move belongings from the entry point and avoid wet outlets.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
