How Under House Flood Water Removal Works in Lignite

1. Pump or extract liquid water

   A crew lowers standing water with pumps, then uses extraction tools on reachable floors. The method depends on depth and whether the source has stopped.

2. Find moisture beyond the puddle

   Water travels beneath flooring through seams and low spots. The crew follows that route with readings, including adjacent rooms.

3. Remove materials that hold unsafe water

   Outside flood water can contaminate materials throughout its path. Technicians assess what can be cleaned and what must be discarded.

4. Dry the structure and confirm progress

   Technicians adjust equipment when one area dries slower than the rest. A dry surface alone does not end monitoring.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

After a basement flood, insulation and drywall can hold water against framing. Mold growth can start on soaked surfaces within 24 to 48 hours, so the drying plan includes hidden cavities rather than only the floor.

• Keep away from wet wiring and do not crawl below unstable or flooded sections.
• Keep children and pets outside the wet area.
• Photograph the source and affected materials if safe.
• Move loose belongings away from spreading water.
• Call (888) 949-8496 for 24/7 flood water removal.
