How Vacant and Vacation Home Flood Water Removal Works in Colstrip

1. Pump or extract liquid water

   A crew lowers standing water with pumps, then uses extraction tools on reachable floors. The method depends on depth and whether the source has stopped.

2. Find moisture beyond the puddle

   The moisture map includes unaffected comparison areas. That helps the crew judge drying progress on materials of the same kind.

3. Remove materials that hold unsafe water

   Water trapped behind baseboards may call for controlled opening. The crew exposes wet framing only where the findings support it.

4. Dry the structure and confirm progress

   Final moisture checks help separate drying from later rebuild. New finishes are addressed only after the structure is ready.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water beneath vinyl can linger after mopping. Since a waterlogged substrate can support mold within 24 to 48 hours, technicians assess the substrate and avoid sealing moisture under a new finish.

• Shut off the water supply if safe and document the scene before cleanup.
• Keep children and pets outside the wet area.
• Photograph the source and affected materials if safe.
• Move loose belongings away from spreading water.
• Call (888) 949-8496 for 24/7 flood water removal.
