How Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Works in Wendell

1. Remove the standing water

   Contaminated porous materials often require careful removal.

4. Dry and verify

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

• 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.
