How Floor Drain Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Forest

1. Remove the standing water

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

3. Open what holds water

   Insulation that cannot dry safely is taken out before equipment runs.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment placement changes when measurements reveal a stubborn area.
