How Gray Water Flood Water Removal Works in Berkeley

1. Remove the standing water

   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 away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
