How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Presto

Soil-contaminated water calls for careful material handling. Porous materials that cannot be cleaned may need removal before drying continues.

1. Pump and extract the water

   Standing water in a crawl space needs controlled pumping. Wet floor surfaces receive further extraction. The crew checks that the source has stopped before moving to drying equipment.

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

   Concrete and wood respond differently to flooding. Moisture mapping identifies each affected material. The map shows where equipment should focus first.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   Carpet padding can retain water against a subfloor. Technicians evaluate whether it can dry safely. The condition of the water helps decide how padding is handled.

4. Dry and confirm with readings

   Wet framing can take longer than a floor surface. Recorded progress determines when finish work can begin. Progress notes show when framing reached its drying goal.
