A plumber stops a pipe from leaking. A water removal crew deals with the water that already got out. When a basement is wet, the crew call usually comes first because the water keeps soaking in.

How Washer Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Smartt

1. Remove the standing water

   If the ground outside is saturated, the crew may lower the water level in stages so the walls are not stressed.

2. Trace where the water went

   The technician checks wall bases, door frames and the slab edge with a moisture meter. The readings show how far the water traveled.

3. Take out what cannot dry

   Drywall that wicked water is cut above the wet edge so the framing can dry. The crew removes only what the readings call for.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Equipment comes out only when the readings match the dry reference. A dry feel to the touch is not enough proof.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous materials such as carpet pad and ceiling tile soaked by dirty water usually come out instead of drying. Taking them out removes both the moisture and the food.

• Close both washer supply valves, and turn off the main water valve if they will not close
• Unplug the washer only if the outlet and the floor in front of it are dry
• Stay out of standing water if an outlet or cord is wet
• Photograph the washer, the hose, the valves and the waterline
• Keep the failed hose, since the plumber or the insurer may want to see it

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Snowmelt and rain together raise the groundwater near the foundation. Sump pumps run hard and sometimes fall behind.
