How Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Works in Braddock

1. Remove the standing water

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

3. Open what holds water

   Soaked padding can block drying of the floor beneath it.

4. Dry and verify

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

• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
