How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Dunfermline

The clock starts when the water arrives, not when it is noticed. A basement that flooded while the family was away may already be past the first 48 hours.

1. Remove the standing water

   As the level drops, the crew watches for hazards the water was hiding: nails, broken glass and loose stair treads.

2. Trace where the water went

   The crew sketches the basement and notes the readings room by room, which gives the insurance file a clear record.

3. Take out what cannot dry

   Wet insulation holds water against the studs and slows drying. It comes out and is bagged with the other soaked material.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   The slab dries slowly, so the crew watches it closely. Concrete can hold water long after the surface looks dry.
