How Flood Cleanup Works in Katy
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
Moisture mapping identifies materials that still need a drying plan. Concealed saturation changes the scope of work.
-
Remove soaked material
The crew opens wet wall areas when access is needed for drying. A technician records the material taken out.
-
Dry and verify
Further readings show whether the drying setup is working. A stable downward trend shows drying progress.
