-

Portable units reach tight closets and basement corners that a truck hose cannot. Clearing the bulk water early makes every later step shorter.

Open what stays wet

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Near Benton Harbor, 78% of homes predate 1980 and 12% went up in 2000 or later. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Benton Harbor was built in the 1960s. Carpet and thin pad were common beside laundry areas in this period. They soak up washer water and hold it. The crew extracts the water and often removes the pad.
