How Flood Cleanup Works in Sullivan
Water left in drywall can keep a wall cavity damp. Removing unsalvageable sections gives remaining framing a better path to dry. Air movement reaches exposed framing more effectively.
-
Remove standing water
Basement water is pumped out before detailed material checks. Deep pooling may hide wet contents below the surface.
-
Map moisture
The crew measures porous materials before deciding what can remain. The water category affects material decisions.
-
Remove soaked material
Carpet pad that cannot be dried safely may need to come out. Removal gives remaining wet layers a path to dry.
-
Dry and verify
Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.
