How Sewage Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Baker

1. Remove the standing water

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

2. Map the moisture

   Hidden cavities are assessed where the water path suggests intrusion.

3. Open what holds water

   Cabinet toe kicks may need access so trapped moisture can escape.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records progress until affected materials meet the drying plan.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water from sewage or outdoors changes the handling of porous materials. Contaminated pieces often need removal before clean drying can proceed.

• Keep people and pets out; avoid touching the wastewater.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
