How Gray Water Flood Water Removal Works in Berkeley

1. Remove the standing water

   A crew starts with the visible pool, using equipment suited to its depth.

2. Map the moisture

   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.

• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
