How Septic Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Garretson

1. Remove the standing water

   Extraction limits how much additional water enters porous finishes.

2. Map the moisture

   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

   Equipment placement changes when measurements reveal a stubborn area.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

After rain enters a wall cavity, insulation can hold water against framing. Technicians open affected areas when needed to support drying.

• Stop using plumbing and keep people away from the spill.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
