How Storm Water Removal Works in Calumet

A basement with little airflow may stay damp long after pumping. Dehumidification and readings show whether the dry-out is progressing.

1. Establish safe access

   Category 3 runoff calls for protective handling. Technicians evaluate contamination before disturbing wet finishes.

2. Remove the standing water

   A pump intake needs sufficient depth to work effectively. The crew switches methods as the water level falls.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Wet carpet and padding may trap contaminated silt. Removal exposes the floor beneath for cleaning.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment may move as materials release water at different rates. Final measurements support the dry-out record.
