Straight from our crew's phones — no staging, no stock images.

Dehumidifier and air movers drying a basement after a flood — Drying equipment set up the same day: commercial dehumidifier plus air movers across the wet floor.

Drywall flood cut exposing basement framing — Drywall cut above the water line so the framing and insulation cavity can dry — and so nothing wet is left behind the wall.

LGR dehumidifier drying a basement with exposed studs — Low-grain-refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the air faster than household units.

Air scrubber exhausting through a basement window — Air filtration exhausting through the basement window keeps dust from reaching the rest of the house.

Water-damaged flooring removed from a finished basement — Soaked laminate and underlay removed so the slab can dry.

Air movers drying an open-concept finished basement — Air movers stacked and ready in an open-concept basement.

Flood debris unloaded at a disposal site — Debris goes out the same week — no wet materials left sitting in the garage.

Why the flood cut matters

Drywall wicks water upward and hides wet insulation and framing behind it. Cutting a clean line above the water mark lets the wall cavity dry, lets us check for damage, and makes the rebuild simple.

Drying the structure, not just the air

Commercial LGR dehumidifiers and air movers are placed to move air across wet framing and slab. We take moisture readings every day and pull equipment only when the materials reach their drying goal.

Removal and disposal included

Wet flooring, underlay, drywall and ruined contents are bagged, documented for your insurer and hauled away, so the basement is empty, dry and ready for rebuild.

FAQ

Questions about this kind of job

Do you always have to cut the drywall?

Not always. Clean water caught quickly can sometimes be dried in place with wall-cavity drying. Grey water, sewage, or drywall that has wicked water usually needs a flood cut. We measure before we decide.

How long until the basement is dry?

Most finished basements are dry in 3 to 5 days with professional equipment. See our guide on basement drying times.
