How Power Outage Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in East Berlin

1. Remove the standing water

2. Trace where the water went

3. Take out what cannot dry

   Drywall that wicked water is cut above the wet edge so the framing can dry. The crew removes only what the readings call for.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Air movers aim along the wall bases and across the floor. Good airflow lifts moisture out of the lower wall.

• Stay out of the basement, since power can return while the water is still there
• Turn off the main breaker only if the panel is dry and you can reach it standing on dry ground
• Run any generator outdoors, far from windows and doors, never in a basement or garage
• Photograph the pit, the waterline and the damage with your phone light
• Carry valuables up only if the stairs and floor are dry and safe
