How Older and Historic Home Flood Water Removal Works in Ukiah
-
Pump or extract liquid water

-
Find moisture beyond the puddle
After a basement pump out, wall insulation and trim may still hold moisture. Measurements show where material needs opening.
-
Remove materials that hold unsafe water
A saturated insulation batt holds water against wood. Removing it can give the cavity access to airflow and dehumidification.
-
Dry the structure and confirm progress
Technicians adjust equipment when one area dries slower than the rest. A dry surface alone does not end monitoring.
