How Flood Cleanup Works in Horatio
Floodwater can wick into wallboard above the water mark. Early assessment shows where wet material must be opened or removed. Access openings can expose the actual wet edge.
-
Remove standing water
After safety hazards are addressed, extraction reduces water sitting indoors. The remaining wet layers are assessed afterward.
-
Map moisture
The crew measures porous materials before deciding what can remain. The water category affects material decisions.
-
Remove soaked material
Contaminated porous materials are separated from salvageable finishes. The loss source informs contamination handling.
-
Dry and verify
Further readings show whether the drying setup is working. A stable downward trend shows drying progress.
