How Storm Water Removal Works in Potomac

Wet wall insulation slows drying inside a cavity. The technician assesses removal so framing can be cleaned and monitored.

1. Establish safe access

   The technician identifies submerged electrical equipment before entering the Potomac room. Occupants remain outside the water path.

2. Remove the standing water

   A pump intake needs sufficient depth to work effectively. The crew switches methods as the water level falls.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Wet carpet and padding may trap contaminated silt. Removal exposes the floor beneath for cleaning.

4. Dry and verify

   A wet cavity can lag behind an open floor. Verification checks both instead of relying on appearance.
