How Flooded Basement Flood Water Removal Works in Two Dot

1. Remove the standing water

   Hidden cavities are assessed where the water path suggests intrusion.

3. Open what holds water

   Wet drywall sections may be removed to expose the cavity.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily checks show whether wet framing is moving toward its drying goal.

• Do not enter deep water or approach submerged electrical equipment.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
