How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Salix

A crawl space flood may wet framing overhead. Drying the air without checking joists can leave concealed moisture.

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

   Lower wall cavities are examined where water climbed. Recorded values mark the drying targets. Different materials call for different measurement methods.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   Insulation in a flooded crawl space may stay saturated. Removing affected sections allows joists to dry. Drying the wood below may require access beyond the visible opening.

4. Dry and confirm with readings

   A basement needs controlled air and humidity after pumping. Technicians monitor the structure over the drying period. Humidity control helps reduce moisture movement into adjacent areas.
