1. Remove the escaped heating water

   Basement water can collect at wall bases. Crews in Gibson Island pull it out and check adjacent rooms for spread.

   Finished basement walls may wick water upward from the floor. Measurements along the wall base reveal the affected height.

3. Open only materials that hold water

   A wet wall plate behind finished basement drywall may need access. The technician measures the cavity before cutting.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   A basement loss may require humidity control along with directed airflow. The Gibson Island crew adjusts equipment to measured progress.
