How Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Works in Avon

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.

3. Open what holds water

   The technician explains material removal based on contamination and readings.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.

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.

• Leave wet electrical areas alone and avoid sealing walls or floors before moisture checks.
• 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.
