How Flood Cleanup Works in Pratts
Standing water is the visible part of a flood loss. The crew also checks hidden materials that could remain moist after pumping. Pumping alone does not dry a wall cavity.
-
Remove standing water
Pumps draw down deep water so the crew can reach floors and lower walls. The crew checks whether water is still entering.
-
Map moisture
The technician checks wall bases, floors, and likely hidden paths. Readings also help define the equipment layout.
-
Remove soaked material
Damaged drywall sections can be taken out to expose wet framing. The opening is documented for later rebuilding.
-
Dry and verify
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry materials that can stay in place. Humidity control supports evaporation from structural materials.
