When a sump pump fails in Laurel School Historic District, CO, local crews respond fast to stop the flooding. They follow IICRC-standard methods to dry the structure, protecting historic finishes while clearing water and ruined materials.

Technicians use submersible pumps to clear standing water from the historic basement fast. This rapid drop allows the crew to assess soaked materials like original wood floors or plaster walls for salvageability.
Soaked padding, lower drywall, and swollen baseboard are carefully removed where drying is impossible. The crew works around historic finishes, opening cavities to allow air movement behind walls for thorough drying.
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the slab, stone foundation, and timber framing to a measured target. The failed pump is identified for replacement, ensuring the space is returned to a stable, dry condition.
