How Frozen Pipe Flood Water Removal Works in Macomb

1. Remove the standing water

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

2. Map the moisture

   Recorded measurements set a baseline for the dry-out.

3. Open what holds water

   The technician explains material removal based on contamination and readings.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Removing standing water quickly gives the drying crew a better chance to limit prolonged dampness.

• Shut off the supply and never use an open flame on the pipe.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
