How Window Well Flooding Flood Water Removal Works in Max

1. Remove the standing water

   Extraction limits how much additional water enters porous finishes.

2. Map the moisture

   A technician checks wall bases and adjoining rooms for water migration.

3. Open what holds water

   Soaked padding can block drying of the floor beneath it.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.

• Move away from wet basement outlets and stop water entry when safe.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
