How Flood Cleanup Works in Pitkin
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
Extraction tools collect pooled water from carpet and hard surfaces. Edges and low points can hold residual water.
-
Map moisture
The crew measures porous materials before deciding what can remain. The water category affects material decisions.
-
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.
