How Storm and Flash Flood Flood Water Removal Works in Gilson

1. Remove the standing water

   Pumps clear deeper water before extraction tools address the remaining wet floor.

2. Map the moisture

   Meters show whether subfloors remain wet beyond the visible edge.

3. Open what holds water

   Cabinet toe kicks may need access so trapped moisture can escape.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily checks show whether wet framing is moving toward its drying goal.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water from sewage or outdoors changes the handling of porous materials. Contaminated pieces often need removal before clean drying can proceed.

• Leave deep or moving floodwater alone and follow local evacuation instructions.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
