How Wet Carpet Flood Water Removal Works in Wadmalaw Island

1. Pump or extract liquid water

   Dirty water requires protective handling during extraction. The team keeps contaminated material separate from dry areas while liquid is removed.

2. Find moisture beyond the puddle

   A ceiling stain can be smaller than the saturated cavity above it. Technicians test nearby surfaces before deciding how far the cleanup extends.

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

A pump clears bulk water, but it does not measure moisture in a subfloor. Wet building materials can develop mold in 24 to 48 hours on damp materials. Continued readings show where drying must continue.

• 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.

The current unit's condition, not the house date, identifies the source.
