How Attic Flood Water Removal Works in Newry

1. Pump or extract liquid water

   Bulk removal comes before structural drying. A deep basement calls for a different pumping approach than a thin layer across a kitchen floor.

2. Find moisture beyond the puddle

   The moisture map includes unaffected comparison areas. That helps the crew judge drying progress on materials of the same kind.

3. Remove materials that hold unsafe water

   Outside flood water can contaminate materials throughout its path. Technicians assess what can be cleaned and what must be discarded.

4. Dry the structure and confirm progress

   Dehumidification collects moisture released into the indoor air. The readings create a record of the dry-out for the property owner.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Storm water often reaches dirtier surfaces than fresh supply water. Mold may begin growing on damp materials after 24 to 48 hours after saturation. Contaminated porous materials may need removal before drying proceeds.

• Stay out of the attic if footing is uncertain or wiring is wet.
• Keep children and pets outside the wet area.
• Photograph the source and affected materials if safe.
• Move loose belongings away from spreading water.
