How Storm Water Removal Works in Polo

Runoff entering twice can undo progress from the first drying cycle. Source control and water removal need to stay coordinated.

1. Establish safe access

   A basement stairway may be slippery or blocked. Workers assess access before carrying extraction tools down.

2. Remove the standing water

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

3. Address contaminated materials

   Affected insulation may be discarded so the cavity can dry. The contractor records what was removed.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew monitors wet framing and subfloors over time. Visible dryness alone does not end the job.
