How Window Well Flood Cleanup Works in Old Fields

1. Remove standing water

   After safety hazards are addressed, extraction reduces water sitting indoors. The remaining wet layers are assessed afterward.

2. Map moisture

   Readings trace water beyond the visible puddle and into adjacent rooms. A nearby dry area can provide a useful comparison.

3. Remove soaked material

   Soaked insulation is removed where it blocks proper drying. Exposed studs can then receive air movement.

4. Dry and verify

   Further readings show whether the drying setup is working. A stable downward trend shows drying progress.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A dry-looking surface can hide a wet backing layer. Moisture checks help the crew locate damp materials before they sit for days. A technician compares readings as equipment runs.

• Avoid entering a room with energized wet outlets.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
• Call Flood Cleanup Response Team at (888) 471-9821, 24/7, and describe the window well water.
