How Storm Water Removal Works in Barto

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Extraction reduces liquid contact, and the crew measures what remains in walls and floors.

1. Establish safe access

   A basement stairway may be slippery or blocked. Workers assess access before carrying extraction tools down.

2. Remove the standing water

   Deep pools are lowered with pumping equipment. Extraction tools then address remaining liquid near floor edges.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Wet carpet and padding may trap contaminated silt. Removal exposes the floor beneath for cleaning.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Readings shape equipment placement.
