How Category 3 Black Water Flood Water Removal Works in Providence

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
Outside flood water can contaminate materials throughout its path. Technicians assess what can be cleaned and what must be discarded.
