How to Remove Standing Water
There are a few different ways to remove standing water from your home. The best method will depend on the amount of water and the location of the water damage. If you have a small amount of standing water, remove it using a mop or wet/dry vacuum.

If the standing water is in your basement, we will need to open the basement windows and doors to let the water & moisture out. SuperBest will also need to use air movers to help dry out the basement.
Once you have removed the standing water, you must dry out where the damage occurred. Fans, dehumidifiers, or professional water damage restoration equipment can dry out the area.
It is essential to dry out the area thoroughly to prevent mold growth. Mold can grow in moist environments, and it can cause serious health problems.
Here are some additional tips for removing standing water:
- Wear gloves and boots to protect yourself from the water and any debris.
- If you use a water or sump pump, follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
- If you are opening the basement windows and doors to let the water out, secure them afterward so they don’t accidentally close and trap you inside.
- Once you have removed the standing water, dry the area thoroughly to prevent mold growth.
If you cannot remove the standing water yourself or have any concerns about mold growth, contact a professional water damage restoration company.
Here are some additional safety tips:
- Do not operate electrical appliances or devices in areas with standing water. This could create an electrical hazard.
- Be careful when walking in areas where there is standing water. The water may be deeper than it appears, and debris may cause you to slip and fall.
