How Septic Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Malta Bend

   Basement pump-out lowers the water so materials can be assessed.

2. Map the moisture

   The crew traces saturation through carpet, pad and underlying layers.

3. Open what holds water

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

4. Dry and verify

   Final moisture checks support the handoff to any later rebuild work.
