How Flood Cleanup Works in Marble Hill
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
Pumps draw down deep water so the crew can reach floors and lower walls. The crew checks whether water is still entering.
-
Map moisture
Moisture mapping identifies materials that still need a drying plan. Concealed saturation changes the scope of work.
-
Remove soaked material
Soaked insulation is removed where it blocks proper drying. Exposed studs can then receive air movement.
-
Dry and verify
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry materials that can stay in place. Humidity control supports evaporation from structural materials.
