How Window Well Flood Cleanup Works in Gerald

1. Remove standing water

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

2. Map moisture

   Moisture mapping identifies materials that still need a drying plan. Concealed saturation changes the scope of work.

3. Remove soaked material

   The crew opens wet wall areas when access is needed for drying. A technician records the material taken out.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.

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.
