How Storm and Flash Flood Flood Water Removal Works in Baldwin

Pump or extract liquid water

-
Find moisture beyond the puddle
Meters reveal damp subfloor and wall bases that eyes cannot judge. The wet map tells the team where drying equipment belongs.
-
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.
-
Dry the structure and confirm progress
A wall cavity and an open floor need different airflow. The crew tracks moisture in each affected material until targets are met.

- Do not enter moving water or a flooded building until officials say entry is safe.
- Keep people away from wet outlets, ceiling fixtures, and standing water of unknown origin.
- Move dry documents and electronics away from the wet floor.
