How Storm Water Removal Works in Wilmette

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Extraction reduces liquid contact, and the crew measures what remains in walls and floors.

1. Establish safe access

   The technician identifies submerged electrical equipment before entering the Wilmette room. Occupants remain outside the water path.

2. Remove the standing water

   Runoff carrying silt can leave deposits after the pool drains. Workers remove debris as part of the cleanup.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Cleaning follows removal of saturated debris. Technicians treat exposed surfaces appropriate to the contamination.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment may move as materials release water at different rates. Final measurements support the dry-out record.
