How Power Outage Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Friars Point

1. Remove the standing water

   A trash pump handles water carrying silt, leaves and grit. The crew chooses between pump types based on what the water holds.

2. Trace where the water went

   Carpet, pad and flooring are checked from below as well as above, because a dry surface can sit over wet material.

3. Take out what cannot dry

   Cardboard, paper and soaked upholstery are sorted away from the work area, and the owner decides what is thrown out.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Equipment comes out only when the readings match the dry reference. A dry feel to the touch is not enough proof.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A musty smell after a flood is a warning, not a diagnosis. Moisture readings show where the wet materials are, and the crew removes what cannot dry.

• Stay out of the basement, since power can return while the water is still there
• Turn off the main breaker only if the panel is dry and you can reach it standing on dry ground
• Run any generator outdoors, far from windows and doors, never in a basement or garage
• Photograph the pit, the waterline and the damage with your phone light
• Carry valuables up only if the stairs and floor are dry and safe
