How Washer Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Galliano

1. Remove the standing water

   Before any machine runs, the crew checks for live power and gas smells. Equipment is set up on safe power, never on a wet outlet.

2. Trace where the water went

   Carpet, pad and flooring are checked from below as well as above, because a dry surface can sit over wet material.

3. Take out what cannot dry

   Carpet pad soaked by dirty water is cut out and bagged. Carpet itself may be saved or discarded depending on the water category.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Air movers aim along the wall bases and across the floor. Good airflow lifts moisture out of the lower wall.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous materials such as carpet pad and ceiling tile soaked by dirty water usually come out instead of drying. Taking them out removes both the moisture and the food.

• Close both washer supply valves, and turn off the main water valve if they will not close
• Unplug the washer only if the outlet and the floor in front of it are dry
• Stay out of standing water if an outlet or cord is wet
• Photograph the washer, the hose, the valves and the waterline
• Keep the failed hose, since the plumber or the insurer may want to see it
