How Flooded Basement Water Removal Works in Mexico

The EPA advises drying wet materials within 24 to 48 hours. In a flooded Mexico basement, that window is why the pump-out and the dehumidifiers go in together.

1. Remove the standing water

   As the level drops, the crew watches for hazards the water was hiding: nails, broken glass and loose stair treads.

2. Trace where the water went

   Carpet, pad and flooring are checked from below as well as above, because a dry surface can sit over wet material.

3. Take out what cannot dry

   Drywall that wicked water is cut above the wet edge so the framing can dry. The crew removes only what the readings call for.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Dehumidifiers and air movers run around the clock. LGR or desiccant units pull moisture out of the cool basement air.
