How Rain Intrusion Flood Water Removal Works in Means

1. Remove the standing water

   Extraction limits how much additional water enters porous finishes.

2. Map the moisture

   The crew traces saturation through carpet, pad and underlying layers.

   Cabinet toe kicks may need access so trapped moisture can escape.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.
