How Floor Drain Backup Flood Cleanup Works in Malcolm

1. Remove standing water

   After safety hazards are addressed, extraction reduces water sitting indoors. The remaining wet layers are assessed afterward.

2. Map moisture

   The technician checks wall bases, floors, and likely hidden paths. Readings also help define the equipment layout.

3. Remove soaked material

   Contaminated porous materials are separated from salvageable finishes. The loss source informs contamination handling.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
