You can find videos/articles online on how to get the basement dry, but the basic process is: 1) turn off all electric to the basement (to avoid electrocution from the water), 2) run pumps to get the standing water out of the basement (sounds like you're already doing this)3) remove all furniture and items from the basement,4) once you've pumped out the standing water from the basement, rent a wet/dry carpet cleaner/extractor from home depot, and use it to extract as much water as possible from the carpets (they'll be much lighter and easier to move once you get the water out). 5) After you've used the carpet extractor to get most of the water out of the carpet, remove all carpet and get it out of the house for drying (if you're trying to salvage the carpets), or throw the carpet out.

This system should be easy to use and interpret, and should also include weightings for each category or trait according to its importance in overall property management.Lastly, provide a list of questions or checks that can help me determine if a property management company's ethos and operational style align with the values and objectives of my own company.I would like this information to be detailed, practical, and grounded in real-world property management contexts."
