How Furniture and Contents Water Extraction Works in Patagonia
-
Pull the standing water out
A flooded basement or crawl space needs a submersible pump first. The crew pumps it down to a thin film, then finishes the floor with wands and weighted tools.
-
Map the moisture
Each room is sketched, and readings are logged at marked points. That map guides the equipment plan and later becomes part of the claim file.
-
Open what holds water
Every cut is photographed first with a timestamp. The file then shows why each piece left the house, and the crew removes only what the readings support.
-
Dry and verify
Clean-water losses commonly dry in three to five days, while hardwood, plaster and dense subfloors need longer. Machines run until the meters read dry, whatever the date.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A musty smell days after a leak says something stayed wet. The technician checks behind baseboards and under cabinets, where trapped water likes to linger.
- Lift furniture and boxes off wet floors if you can do so safely.
- Move electronics, medications and valuables to a dry room.
- Separate wet papers and photos, and freeze them if drying cannot start right away.
- Do not use a hair dryer or oven on wet items.
- Take photos of every item before it moves.
