How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Defiance

Drying does not undo mold that has already grown. It does stop new growth by bringing materials back to normal moisture, so the dehumidifiers keep running until the readings match.

1. Remove the standing water

   Before any machine runs, the crew checks for live power and gas smells. Equipment is set up on safe power, never on a wet outlet.

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

   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

   Dehumidifiers and air movers run around the clock. LGR or desiccant units pull moisture out of the cool basement air.
