How Water Line Break Flooding Cleanup Works in Lerona

A carpet can feel nearly dry while its pad remains wet. The restoration crew checks each layer and removes material that cannot dry safely. The pad and carpet are assessed separately so a dry surface does not conceal water against the subfloor.

1. Remove Standing Water

   Heavy water in a crawl space may require pumping. The crew then checks the subfloor above for moisture.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   Hidden wet spots can remain after surface water disappears. Repeat measurements keep the drying area accurate.

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   Saturated insulation may block drying in a wall cavity. The crew removes material that cannot dry safely.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   The drying plan changes with water category, saturation and material type. Technicians log progress rather than relying on a fixed day count.
