How Storm and Flash Flood Flood Water Removal Works in Edwards

1. Remove the standing water

   The crew isolates dirty water before clearing the affected area.

2. Map the moisture

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

3. Open what holds water

   Insulation that cannot dry safely is taken out before equipment runs.

4. Dry and verify

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

After rain enters a wall cavity, insulation can hold water against framing. Technicians open affected areas when needed to support drying.

• Leave deep or moving floodwater alone and follow local evacuation instructions.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
