How Flood Cleanup Works in Thayer
A shutoff valve stops a pipe leak, but it does not dry the house. Extraction and dehumidification handle the moisture already indoors. Water may be held between finish and subfloor.
-
Remove standing water
The technician begins with the rooms holding the most water. Electrical hazards are addressed before wet-room access.
-
Map moisture
Subfloor seams and cabinet bases receive close moisture checks. Kitchen and bath finishes can conceal wet backing.
-
Remove soaked material
Contaminated porous materials are separated from salvageable finishes. The loss source informs contamination handling.
-
Dry and verify
Further readings show whether the drying setup is working. A stable downward trend shows drying progress.
