How Sewage Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Mize

1. Remove the standing water

   Extraction limits how much additional water enters porous finishes.

2. Map the moisture

   Moisture readings establish where drying equipment must work.

3. Open what holds water

   Soaked padding can block drying of the floor beneath it.

4. Dry and verify

   Final moisture checks support the handoff to any later rebuild work.

• 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.
