How Sewage Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Wolfe

1. Remove the standing water

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

   Meters show whether subfloors remain wet beyond the visible edge.

3. Open what holds water

   The technician explains material removal based on contamination and readings.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.
