How Septic Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Nicasio

1. Remove the standing water

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

2. Map the moisture

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

3. Open what holds water

   Wet drywall sections may be removed to expose the cavity.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment placement changes when measurements reveal a stubborn area.

• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
