How Rain Intrusion Flood Water Removal Works in Kootenai
-
Pump or extract liquid water
Bulk removal comes before structural drying. A deep basement calls for a different pumping approach than a thin layer across a kitchen floor.
-
Find moisture beyond the puddle
The moisture map includes unaffected comparison areas. That helps the crew judge drying progress on materials of the same kind.
-
Remove materials that hold unsafe water
A saturated insulation batt holds water against wood. Removing it can give the cavity access to airflow and dehumidification.
-
Dry the structure and confirm progress
Equipment remains while subfloors or framing still test wet. The crew removes it after measurements support completion.
