How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Opheim

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. A basement holds drywall, carpet, wood and cardboard, which gives it plenty to feed on.

1. Remove the standing water

   Before any machine runs, the crew checks for live power and gas smells. Equipment is set up on safe power, never on a wet outlet.

2. Trace where the water went

   A thermal camera shows cool, wet patches behind finishes. The crew marks them and decides where the drying equipment goes.

3. Take out what cannot dry

   Carpet pad soaked by dirty water is cut out and bagged. Carpet itself may be saved or discarded depending on the water category.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   At the end, the crew hands over the moisture logs and the list of work. Those pages support the insurance claim and the rebuild.
