How Water Line Break Flooding Cleanup Works in Gifford

1. Remove Standing Water

   Heavy water in a crawl space may require pumping. The crew then checks the subfloor above for moisture.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   The crew limits removal to the affected assembly when conditions permit. Pipe work stays with the utility or plumber.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   A room can feel dry before hidden layers reach target moisture levels. The crew checks both the surface and the assembly below.
