How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Nitro

Cool, damp basement air slows drying and gives mold time to take hold. Pumping and dehumidifying early takes away the moisture it needs.

1. Remove the standing water

   Water from a sewer backup is handled in gloves, boots and protective clothing, and the discharge goes where local rules allow.

2. Trace where the water went

   The technician checks wall bases, door frames and the slab edge with a moisture meter. The readings show how far the water traveled.

3. Take out what cannot dry

   Drywall that wicked water is cut above the wet edge so the framing can dry. The crew removes only what the readings call for.

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.
