How Floor Drain Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Tofte

1. Remove the standing water

   Technicians pull water from carpet and hard surfaces after confirming safe access.

2. Map the moisture

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.

• Stop nearby water use and avoid contact until the source is known.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
