How Older and Historic Home Flood Water Removal Works in Lewisville

1. Pump or extract liquid water

   After checking electrical safety, technicians remove pooled water from the affected Lewisville rooms. Smaller pockets are extracted once the main level falls.

2. Find moisture beyond the puddle

   After a basement pump out, wall insulation and trim may still hold moisture. Measurements show where material needs opening.

3. Remove materials that hold unsafe water

   Sewage-soaked carpet pad and drywall often cannot stay. The team removes affected porous material before sanitizing and drying the remaining structure.

4. Dry the structure and confirm progress

   A wall cavity and an open floor need different airflow. The crew tracks moisture in each affected material until targets are met.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A damp cabinet back or wall base may escape a quick cleanup. Mold can appear on damp surfaces in 24 to 48 hours. Extraction and verified structural drying address the water that remains.

• Stop the source and avoid disturbing wet plaster that is sagging.
• Keep children and pets outside the wet area.
• Photograph the source and affected materials if safe.
• Move loose belongings away from spreading water.
• Call (888) 949-8496 for 24/7 flood water removal.
