How Flooded Basement Flood Cleanup Works in Bison

1. Remove standing water

   After safety hazards are addressed, extraction reduces water sitting indoors. The remaining wet layers are assessed afterward.

2. Map moisture

   A damp ceiling may reveal water from a room above. Lower ceilings may carry water from upstairs.

3. Remove soaked material

   Material removal follows the water path and contamination level. The crew checks whether neighboring material is wet.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Persistent dampness lets organic surfaces remain vulnerable. A technician tracks the dry-out with readings instead of relying on touch alone. Persistent dampness also affects indoor humidity.

• Avoid stairs into water near electrical equipment.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
• Call Flood Cleanup Response Team at (888) 471-9821, 24/7, and describe the flooded basement water.
