How Flood Cleanup Works in Dexter
Warm, humid conditions can slow evaporation. A controlled drying setup removes moisture from both materials and indoor air. Repeated checks show whether the setup needs adjustment.
-
Remove standing water
The technician begins with the rooms holding the most water. Electrical hazards are addressed before wet-room access.
-
Map moisture
A damp ceiling may reveal water from a room above. Lower ceilings may carry water from upstairs.
-
Remove soaked material
Soaked insulation is removed where it blocks proper drying. Exposed studs can then receive air movement.
-
Dry and verify
The crew adjusts equipment as the wet area changes. Stubborn damp spots may need different airflow.
