How Storm Water Removal Works in Chicago Heights

Water beneath a floating floor has limited evaporation paths. Opening the assembly may be necessary to address trapped moisture.

1. Establish safe access

   Floodwater can conceal debris beneath its surface. The crew checks entry and equipment routes before pumping.

2. Remove the standing water

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

3. Address contaminated materials

   Flood-soaked wallboard can hold water against framing. Openings allow assessment and treatment of the concealed area.

4. Dry and verify

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