How Window Well Flooding Flood Water Removal Works in Okaton

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

   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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.

• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
