How Hurricane Flood Flood Water Removal Works in Java

1. Remove the standing water

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

2. Map the moisture

   Hidden cavities are assessed where the water path suggests intrusion.

3. Open what holds water

   Soaked padding can block drying of the floor beneath it.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Removing standing water quickly gives the drying crew a better chance to limit prolonged dampness.

• Remain away until local authorities say the area is safe.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
