How Sump Pump Failure Flood Water Removal Works in Unity

1. Remove the standing water

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

2. Map the moisture

   Recorded measurements set a baseline for the dry-out.

3. Open what holds water

   Wet drywall sections may be removed to expose the cavity.

4. Dry and verify

   Final moisture checks support the handoff to any later rebuild work.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous drywall absorbs floodwater along its lower edge. The crew checks the depth and contamination before deciding what can remain.

• Keep clear of submerged wiring and have the pump checked by its trade.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
