How Window Well Flooding Flood Water Removal Works in Ripton

   A crew starts with the visible pool, using equipment suited to its depth.

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

3. Open what holds water

   Wet drywall sections may be removed to expose the cavity.

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.
