How Basement Drain Backup Cleanup Works in Tipton

   The assessor looks for a wet route from the drain to nearby rooms. A nearby appliance, outlet or electrical cord is noted before equipment enters the area. Source information determines contamination precautions.

2. Extract pooled drain water

   Extraction follows the direction of floor slope. The crew checks the far edge of the wet footprint so a neighboring room is not missed.

3. Treat affected materials

   Storage boxes, trim and wall finish may have different exposure. The assessor separates those conditions before cleanup continues to structural drying.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Room humidity and material readings show how the dry-out is progressing. The crew keeps a record for the owner. The owner receives a record of measured progress before finish materials are considered.
