How Flood Cleanup Works in Edgecomb
Warm, humid conditions can slow evaporation. A controlled drying setup removes moisture from both materials and indoor air. Repeated checks show whether the setup needs adjustment.
-
Remove standing water
Pumps draw down deep water so the crew can reach floors and lower walls. The crew checks whether water is still entering.
-
Map moisture
Subfloor seams and cabinet bases receive close moisture checks. Kitchen and bath finishes can conceal wet backing.
-
Remove soaked material
Soaked insulation is removed where it blocks proper drying. Exposed studs can then receive air movement.
-
Dry and verify
Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.
