How Sewage Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Reseda

1. Remove the standing water

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

2. Map the moisture

   Meters show whether subfloors remain wet beyond the visible edge.

3. Open what holds water

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

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.

• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
