How Floor Drain Backup Cleanup Works in Apollo

Standing water against wall bases gives moisture a path into drywall. The first 24 to 48 hours matter, so extraction and drying begin promptly. The response team notes how high the water touched the lower wall.

1. Remove the overflow

   A mitigation team begins at the lowest pooled spots. The technician records the water depth and affected surfaces before material removal.

2. Measure hidden moisture

   A dry reference area gives the crew a comparison point. The wet map then shows where equipment and access are needed.

3. Handle affected materials

   When water sits behind a cabinet toe kick, the technician may open the area for cleaning and airflow. Removal decisions follow actual conditions.

4. Dry and verify

   The drying log tracks progress at the same measured locations. Equipment remains where the structure still needs help releasing moisture.
