How Insurance Claim Flood Water Removal Works in Hockessin

1. Pump or extract liquid water

   After checking electrical safety, technicians remove pooled water from the affected Hockessin rooms. Smaller pockets are extracted once the main level falls.

2. Find moisture beyond the puddle

   After a basement pump out, wall insulation and trim may still hold moisture. Measurements show where material needs opening.

3. Remove materials that hold unsafe water

   A saturated insulation batt holds water against wood. Removing it can give the cavity access to airflow and dehumidification.

4. Dry the structure and confirm progress

   Equipment remains while subfloors or framing still test wet. The crew removes it after measurements support completion.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Storm water often reaches dirtier surfaces than fresh supply water. Mold may begin growing on damp materials after 24 to 48 hours after saturation. Contaminated porous materials may need removal before drying proceeds.

• Stop the water source if safe.
• Keep children and pets outside the wet area.
• Photograph the source and affected materials if safe.
• Move loose belongings away from spreading water.
• Call (888) 949-8496 for 24/7 flood water removal.
