How Category 3 Flood Water Removal Works in Timewell

1. Remove the standing water

   The crew isolates dirty water before clearing the affected area.

2. Map the moisture

   Hidden cavities are assessed where the water path suggests intrusion.

3. Open what holds water

   Cabinet toe kicks may need access so trapped moisture can escape.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily checks show whether wet framing is moving toward its drying goal.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

After rain enters a wall cavity, insulation can hold water against framing. Technicians open affected areas when needed to support drying.

• Keep everyone out of the wet area and do not run household fans across contaminated material.
• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
• Call (888) 399-5795 for 24/7 flood water removal.
