How Hardwood Floor Flood Water Removal Works in Michigan

Pump or extract liquid water

Find moisture beyond the puddle
After a basement pump out, wall insulation and trim may still hold moisture. Measurements show where material needs opening.
-
Remove materials that hold unsafe water

Dry the structure and confirm progress
