How Window Well Flood Cleanup Works in Lyons

1. Remove standing water

   Pumps draw down deep water so the crew can reach floors and lower walls. The crew checks whether water is still entering.

2. Map moisture

   The crew measures porous materials before deciding what can remain. The water category affects material decisions.

3. Remove soaked material

   Damaged drywall sections can be taken out to expose wet framing. The opening is documented for later rebuilding.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew adjusts equipment as the wet area changes. Stubborn damp spots may need different airflow.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Warm, humid conditions can slow evaporation. A controlled drying setup removes moisture from both materials and indoor air. Repeated checks show whether the setup needs adjustment.

• Avoid entering a room with energized wet outlets.
• 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 window well water.
