How Sump Pump Failure 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

   Recorded measurements set a baseline for the dry-out.

3. Open what holds water

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

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.

• Keep clear of submerged wiring and have the pump checked by its trade.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
