How Window Well Flood Cleanup Works in Mitchell

1. Remove standing water

   Basement water is pumped out before detailed material checks. Deep pooling may hide wet contents below the surface.

2. Map moisture

   Moisture mapping identifies materials that still need a drying plan. Concealed saturation changes the scope of work.

3. Remove soaked material

   Soaked insulation is removed where it blocks proper drying. Exposed studs can then receive air movement.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew adjusts equipment as the wet area changes. Stubborn damp spots may need different airflow.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Carpet pad and insulation can hold moisture after a room looks normal. Drying equipment and readings address that concealed water. Carpet that feels dry can still hide wet padding.

• Avoid entering a room with energized wet outlets.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
• Call Flood Cleanup Response Team at (888) 471-9821, 24/7, and describe the window well water.
