How Finished Basement Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Allston

1. Remove standing water

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A thermal camera can point toward cooler damp areas, which technicians confirm with direct readings.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Swollen drywall that has lost strength may need a controlled cut to expose framing.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily readings show whether equipment placement should change as the loss dries.

• Stop the water at a safe shutoff if the source is inside.
• Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
• Photograph carpet pad before moving affected items.
• Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
• Move dry valuables out of the path without walking through water.
