How Sewage Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Chetek

1. Remove the standing water

   Extraction limits how much additional water enters porous finishes.

2. Map the moisture

   A technician checks wall bases and adjoining rooms for water migration.

3. Open what holds water

   Cabinet toe kicks may need access so trapped moisture can escape.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.

• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
