How Wall and Drywall Flood Water Removal Works in Stephan

1. Remove the standing water

   Pumps clear deeper water before extraction tools address the remaining wet floor.

2. Map the moisture

   A technician checks wall bases and adjoining rooms for water migration.

3. Open what holds water

   Cabinet toe kicks may need access so trapped moisture can escape.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.

• Keep clear of wet outlets and have the water source stopped before opening the wall.
• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
• Call (888) 399-5795 for 24/7 flood water removal.
