How Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Works in La Verne

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

   Cabinet toe kicks may need access so trapped moisture can escape.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Air movement alone cannot dry a room with a large pool. Extraction comes first, followed by equipment and repeat moisture checks.

• 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.
