How Groundwater Seepage Flood Water Removal Works in Mullins

1. Remove the standing water

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

2. Map the moisture

   Moisture readings establish where drying equipment must work.

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 boxes and electrical items off the wet floor.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
