How Flooded Basement Drywall Cleanup Works in Rock Point

1. Extract the basement water

   The team removes liquid from the basement floor and works along corners where water collects. Electrical safety is confirmed before anyone enters.

   Water can rise higher inside the gypsum than the floor mark suggests. The technician checks upward until readings return to dry levels.

3. Clear saturated layers

4. Dry and confirm

   Air movers create airflow across exposed wood while dehumidifiers collect evaporated moisture. Daily readings show whether the materials approach dry reference values.

• Stop a broken supply pipe at the valve if it is safe to reach.
