How Storm Water Removal Works in Ellerbe
Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Extraction reduces liquid contact, and the crew measures what remains in walls and floors.
-
Establish safe access
The first inspection marks the source and depth of the pool. Those observations shape the removal plan.
-
Remove the standing water
Deep pools are lowered with pumping equipment. Extraction tools then address remaining liquid near floor edges.
-
Address contaminated materials
Wet carpet and padding may trap contaminated silt. Removal exposes the floor beneath for cleaning.
-
Dry and verify
Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Readings shape equipment placement.
