How Boiler and Radiator Leak Flood Water Removal Works in Crest Hill

1. Remove the standing water

   Basement pump-out lowers the water so materials can be assessed.

2. Map the moisture

   Moisture readings establish where drying equipment must work.

3. Open what holds water

   Contaminated porous materials often require careful removal.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Removing standing water quickly gives the drying crew a better chance to limit prolonged dampness.

• Avoid hot water and electrical controls; have the heating trade isolate the equipment.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
