How Sewage Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Hoffman

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

   Wet drywall sections may be removed to expose the cavity.

4. Dry and verify

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

• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
