Remove the standing water
A trash pump handles water carrying silt, leaves and grit. The crew chooses between pump types based on what the water holds.

Take out what cannot dry

Flooded Basement Water Removal Questions in Litchfield
Does a finished basement cost more to dry in Litchfield?
Usually. Carpet, drywall, paneling and built-ins add removal and drying work, so finished basements run toward the top of typical ranges. These are typical ranges, not a quote.
How soon after a flood should someone call in Litchfield?
Right away. Standing water soaks into materials, and mold can start within 24 to 48 hours. Call (888) 532-8620 while the water is still in the basement.
Which equipment does a Litchfield crew bring to a flooded basement?
Submersible and trash pumps, hoses, truck-mounted or portable extractors, moisture meters, a thermal camera, air movers and LGR or desiccant dehumidifiers. The mix depends on the basement.
Is water removal different from cleanup in Litchfield?
Water removal is the pumping and extraction that gets the standing water out. Cleanup and drying follow, covering the wet materials and the structure. A flooded basement needs all three.
Does a flooded basement in Litchfield need the carpet removed?
Carpet soaked by groundwater, storm water or sewage is usually removed, and so is the pad. Clean-water floods sometimes allow carpet to be dried in place. The technician decides from the water category and the readings.
Describe the water in the Litchfield basement and let the crew plan the pump-out and the drying. Call (888) 532-8620, 24/7.
