How Furniture and Contents Flood Water Removal Works in Niles

1. Remove the standing water

   Extraction limits how much additional water enters porous finishes.

   Soaked padding can block drying of the floor beneath it.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records progress until affected materials meet the drying plan.

• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
