How Groundwater Seepage Flood Water Removal Works in Merrill

1. Remove the standing water

   Extraction limits how much additional water enters porous finishes.

2. Map the moisture

   Moisture readings establish where drying equipment must work.

3. Open what holds water

   The technician explains material removal based on contamination and readings.

4. Dry and verify

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

• Keep boxes and electrical items off the wet floor.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
