How Structural Drying Flood Water Removal Works in Plummer

Find moisture beyond the puddle
A wet cabinet toe kick can hide water against the wall. The technician tests the cavity rather than relying on surface appearance.
-
Remove materials that hold unsafe water
A clean water loss may allow some finishes to dry in place. The choice depends on the material, duration and measured saturation.
-
Dry the structure and confirm progress
A wall cavity and an open floor need different airflow. The crew tracks moisture in each affected material until targets are met.
