How Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Works in Highfalls

1. Remove the standing water

   A crew starts with the visible pool, using equipment suited to its depth.

2. Map the moisture

   Recorded measurements set a baseline for the dry-out.

3. Open what holds water

   Cabinet toe kicks may need access so trapped moisture can escape.

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.

• Leave wet electrical areas alone and avoid sealing walls or floors before moisture checks.
• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
• Call (888) 399-5795 for 24/7 flood water removal.
