How Under House Flood Water Removal Works in Fork Union

1. Remove the standing water

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

   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

   The crew records progress until affected materials meet the drying plan.

• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
