If a ceiling drips after an upstairs plumbing failure, shut off the supply when safe. Technicians then inspect both levels and start the dry-out.

How Flooded Basement Flood Water Removal Works in Mathis

1. Remove the standing water

   Pumps clear deeper water before extraction tools address the remaining wet floor.

2. Map the moisture

   Meters show whether subfloors remain wet beyond the visible edge.

3. Open what holds water

   Wet drywall sections may be removed to expose the cavity.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Drying progress is measured, not guessed from touch. Daily readings help show whether hidden moisture is falling.

• Do not enter deep water or approach submerged electrical equipment.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
