How Sewage Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Wounded Knee

1. Remove the standing water

   Technicians pull water from carpet and hard surfaces after confirming safe access.

2. Map the moisture

   Recorded measurements set a baseline for the dry-out.

3. Open what holds water

   Soaked padding can block drying of the floor beneath it.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.

• Keep people and pets out; avoid touching the wastewater.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
