How Storm Water Removal Works in Elizabeth

Flood-soaked carpet can trap debris at its backing. The crew evaluates whether it must be removed before the floor below can dry.

1. Establish safe access

   Rising water changes conditions during a job. The crew verifies that the site is stable enough for work.

2. Remove the standing water

   When inflow continues, the crew accounts for new water while planning safe removal.

3. Address contaminated materials

   A written material record helps explain why demolition occurred. The next construction phase waits for dry conditions.

4. Dry and verify

   A wet cavity can lag behind an open floor. Verification checks both instead of relying on appearance.
