How Structural Drying for Flood Cleanup Works in Cavendish

1. Remove standing water

   Extraction tools collect pooled water from carpet and hard surfaces. Edges and low points can hold residual water.

2. Map moisture

   A damp ceiling may reveal water from a room above. Lower ceilings may carry water from upstairs.

3. Remove soaked material

   Soaked insulation is removed where it blocks proper drying. Exposed studs can then receive air movement.

4. Dry and verify

   Further readings show whether the drying setup is working. A stable downward trend shows drying progress.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
