How Wall and Drywall Flood Water Removal Works in Chatham

1. Remove the standing water

   The crew isolates dirty water before clearing the affected area.

2. Map the moisture

   Recorded measurements set a baseline for the dry-out.

3. Open what holds water

   The technician explains material removal based on contamination and readings.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily checks show whether wet framing is moving toward its drying goal.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Air movement alone cannot dry a room with a large pool. Extraction comes first, followed by equipment and repeat moisture checks.

• Keep clear of wet outlets and have the water source stopped before opening the wall.
• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
• Call (888) 399-5795 for 24/7 flood water removal.
