How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Lemont
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.
-
Remove the standing water
Before any machine runs, the crew checks for live power and gas smells. Equipment is set up on safe power, never on a wet outlet.
-
Trace where the water went
A thermal camera shows cool, wet patches behind finishes. The crew marks them and decides where the drying equipment goes.
-
Take out what cannot dry
Baseboards may be pulled to let air reach the bottom of the wall. They can be put back or replaced after drying.
-
Dry the structure and verify
Air movers aim along the wall bases and across the floor. Good airflow lifts moisture out of the lower wall.

- List damaged belongings with brand, age and rough value
Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
