How Ceiling Flood Water Removal Works in Smithwick

1. Remove the standing water

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

2. Map the moisture

   Moisture readings establish where drying equipment must work.

3. Open what holds water

   Soaked padding can block drying of the floor beneath it.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records progress until affected materials meet the drying plan.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A soaked carpet pad can keep the subfloor damp. Crews assess whether the pad must come out to allow the layers below to dry.

• Stay clear of a bulging ceiling and ceiling fixtures, and switch power off only from a dry safe location.
• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
• Call (888) 399-5795 for 24/7 flood water removal.
