What Apartment Flood Water Extraction Includes in Packwaukee

How Apartment Flood Water Extraction Works in Packwaukee
-
Pull the standing water out
A flooded basement or crawl space needs a submersible pump first. The crew pumps it down to a thin film, then finishes the floor with wands and weighted tools.
-
Map the moisture
A thermal camera shows cooler, damp areas on walls and ceilings. A meter then confirms each one before it earns a mark on the map.
-
Open what holds water
The kick plate beneath cabinets often comes off so air can reach water trapped below. The technician may also drill small vent holes in the cabinet base.
-
Dry and verify
Air movers sweep moist air off wet surfaces while LGR dehumidifiers pull the moisture out of the room. The crew sizes both to the evaporation load of the space.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A leak that sits through a long weekend usually costs more materials. The crew pulls pad, baseboard and lower drywall that stayed wet too long and dries what remains.
- Turn off your water at the unit shutoff if the leak seems to come from your plumbing.
- Tell your property manager or landlord right away.
- Switch off breakers for wet lights and outlets.
- Move furniture, clothing and electronics away from the water.
- Photograph the water, the ceiling and your belongings.
