How Sump Pump Failure Flood Water Removal Works in Pathfork

1. Remove the standing water

   The crew isolates dirty water before clearing the affected area.

2. Map the moisture

   The crew traces saturation through carpet, pad and underlying layers.

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

4. Dry and verify

• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
