Pump or extract liquid water

Find moisture beyond the puddle
After a basement pump out, wall insulation and trim may still hold moisture. Measurements show where material needs opening.
-
Remove materials that hold unsafe water

- Stop the washer and close its supply valves if those valves are dry and reachable.
- Keep people away from wet outlets, ceiling fixtures, and standing water of unknown origin.
- Move dry documents and electronics away from the wet floor.
- Photograph the water level, wet rooms, and damaged belongings before cleanup.
