How Water Line Break Flooding Cleanup Works in Wetmore

1. Remove Standing Water

   Technicians pull standing water from hard surfaces and suitable floor coverings. They keep electrical hazards outside the work area.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

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

   The drying plan changes with water category, saturation and material type. Technicians log progress rather than relying on a fixed day count.
