How Flooded Basement Flood Water Removal Works in Unity

1. Remove the standing water

   Soaked padding can block drying of the floor beneath it.

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.

• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
