How Flood Cleanup Works in Olivet
Standing water is the visible part of a flood loss. The crew also checks hidden materials that could remain moist after pumping. Pumping alone does not dry a wall cavity.
-
Remove standing water
Basement water is pumped out before detailed material checks. Deep pooling may hide wet contents below the surface.
-
Map moisture
Subfloor seams and cabinet bases receive close moisture checks. Kitchen and bath finishes can conceal wet backing.
-
Remove soaked material
Damaged drywall sections can be taken out to expose wet framing. The opening is documented for later rebuilding.
-
Dry and verify
Further readings show whether the drying setup is working. A stable downward trend shows drying progress.
