How Category 3 Black Water Flood Water Removal Works in Glen

1. Pump or extract liquid water

   After checking electrical safety, technicians remove pooled water from the affected Glen rooms. Smaller pockets are extracted once the main level falls.

2. Find moisture beyond the puddle

   After a basement pump out, wall insulation and trim may still hold moisture. Measurements show where material needs opening.

3. Remove materials that hold unsafe water

   A clean water loss may allow some finishes to dry in place. The choice depends on the material, duration and measured saturation.

4. Dry the structure and confirm progress

   Dehumidification collects moisture released into the indoor air. The readings create a record of the dry-out for the property owner.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Early extraction in Glen reduces how long floors and walls stay damp. The crew uses readings to find water that a visual check can miss.

• Stay out of the flooded space and do not run fans across contaminated material.
• Keep children and pets outside the wet area.
• Photograph the source and affected materials if safe.
• Move loose belongings away from spreading water.
