How Window Well Flooding Flood Water Removal Works in Stem

1. Remove the standing water

   Extraction limits how much additional water enters porous finishes.

2. Map the moisture

   Hidden cavities are assessed where the water path suggests intrusion.

3. Open what holds water

   Wet drywall sections may be removed to expose the cavity.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Air movement alone cannot dry a room with a large pool. Extraction comes first, followed by equipment and repeat moisture checks.

• Move away from wet basement outlets and stop water entry when 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.
