-
Remove materials that hold unsafe water
Sewage-soaked carpet pad and drywall often cannot stay. The team removes affected porous material before sanitizing and drying the remaining structure.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
After a basement flood, insulation and drywall can hold water against framing. Mold growth can start on soaked surfaces within 24 to 48 hours, so the drying plan includes hidden cavities rather than only the floor.
- Keep away from wet wiring and do not crawl below unstable or flooded sections.
- Keep children and pets outside the wet area.
- Photograph the source and affected materials if safe.
- Move loose belongings away from spreading water.
