How Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Works in Norwood

1. Remove the standing water

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

2. Map the moisture

   Recorded measurements set a baseline for the dry-out.

3. Open what holds water

   Wet drywall sections may be removed to expose the cavity.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily checks show whether wet framing is moving toward its drying goal.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

After rain enters a wall cavity, insulation can hold water against framing. Technicians open affected areas when needed to support drying.

• Leave wet electrical areas alone and avoid sealing walls or floors before moisture checks.
• 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.
