How Gray Water Flood Water Removal Works in Oxford

1. Remove the standing water

   Extraction limits how much additional water enters porous finishes.

   Meters show whether subfloors remain wet beyond the visible edge.

3. Open what holds water

   Contaminated porous materials often require careful removal.

4. Dry and verify

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

• Avoid skin contact and keep pets away from the affected area.
• 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.
