How Hardwood Floor Flood Water Removal Works in Bumpass

1. Remove the standing water

   Basement pump-out lowers the water so materials can be assessed.

3. Open what holds water

   Soaked padding can block drying of the floor beneath it.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.
