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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
