How Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Works in Bismarck

   Pumps clear deeper water before extraction tools address the remaining wet floor.

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

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records progress until affected materials meet the drying plan.

• 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.
