How Floor Drain Backup Flood Cleanup Works in Downs

1. Remove standing water

   Basement water is pumped out before detailed material checks. Deep pooling may hide wet contents below the surface.

2. Map moisture

   The technician checks wall bases, floors, and likely hidden paths. Readings also help define the equipment layout.

3. Remove soaked material

   Carpet pad that cannot be dried safely may need to come out. Removal gives remaining wet layers a path to dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Keep clear of drain water until its source is known.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
