How Sewage Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Modoc

1. Remove the standing water

   Extraction limits how much additional water enters porous finishes.

2. Map the moisture

   Recorded measurements set a baseline for the dry-out.

3. Open what holds water

   Soaked padding can block drying of the floor beneath it.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records progress until affected materials meet the drying plan.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Drying progress is measured, not guessed from touch. Daily readings help show whether hidden moisture is falling.

• Keep people and pets out; avoid touching the wastewater.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
