How Ceiling Flood Water Removal Works in Point Harbor

1. Remove the standing water

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

2. Map the moisture

   A technician checks wall bases and adjoining rooms for water migration.

3. Open what holds water

   Insulation that cannot dry safely is taken out before equipment runs.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.

• 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.
