How Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Works in Baxley

1. Remove the standing water

   A crew starts with the visible pool, using equipment suited to its depth.

3. Open what holds water

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment placement changes when measurements reveal a stubborn area.

• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
