How Flood Water Removal Works in Potlatch
Drying equipment works on measured wet materials, not just open puddles. Moisture can let mold start growing in 24 to 48 hours, so early mapping and material decisions matter.
-
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
Sewage-soaked carpet pad and drywall often cannot stay. The team removes affected porous material before sanitizing and drying the remaining structure.
-
Dry the structure and confirm progress
Technicians adjust equipment when one area dries slower than the rest. A dry surface alone does not end monitoring.
