How Storm Water Removal Works in Lakota

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

   Category 3 runoff calls for protective handling. Technicians evaluate contamination before disturbing wet finishes.

2. Remove the standing water

   A pump intake needs sufficient depth to work effectively. The crew switches methods as the water level falls.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Outside floodwater is Category 3. The crew identifies porous finishes that cannot be cleaned for safe reuse.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment may move as materials release water at different rates. Final measurements support the dry-out record.
