How Flooded Basement Flood Water Removal Works in Calpine

1. Remove the standing water

   Technicians pull water from carpet and hard surfaces after confirming safe access.

   Recorded measurements set a baseline for the dry-out.

3. Open what holds water

   Insulation that cannot dry safely is taken out before equipment runs.

4. Dry and verify

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

• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
