How Wet Carpet Flood Water Removal Works in Sheldon

1. Pump or extract liquid water

   Pumps address volume; extraction tools reach remaining liquid in accessible materials. The technician notes any area still taking on water.

2. Find moisture beyond the puddle

   A wet cabinet toe kick can hide water against the wall. The technician tests the cavity rather than relying on surface appearance.

3. 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.

4. Dry the structure and confirm progress

   Technicians adjust equipment when one area dries slower than the rest. A dry surface alone does not end monitoring.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Storm water often reaches dirtier surfaces than fresh supply water. Mold may begin growing on damp materials after 24 to 48 hours after saturation. Contaminated porous materials may need removal before drying proceeds.

• Keep people off wet carpet and move furniture legs away from the damp area.
• Keep children and pets outside the wet area.
• Photograph the source and affected materials if safe.
• Move loose belongings away from spreading water.
• Call (888) 949-8496 for 24/7 flood water removal.
