How Storm Water Removal Works in Kathleen

A basement with little airflow may stay damp long after pumping. Dehumidification and readings show whether the dry-out is progressing.

1. Establish safe access

   Category 3 runoff calls for protective handling. Technicians evaluate contamination before disturbing wet finishes.

2. Remove the standing water

   A pump intake needs sufficient depth to work effectively. The crew switches methods as the water level falls.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Cleaning follows removal of saturated debris. Technicians treat exposed surfaces appropriate to the contamination.

4. Dry and verify

   A wet cavity can lag behind an open floor. Verification checks both instead of relying on appearance.
