How Water Under the House Flood Cleanup Works in Fallston

1. Remove standing water

2. Map moisture

   Subfloor seams and cabinet bases receive close moisture checks. Kitchen and bath finishes can conceal wet backing.

3. Remove soaked material

   The crew opens wet wall areas when access is needed for drying. A technician records the material taken out.

4. Dry and verify

   A technician records progress before equipment is removed. Rebuild planning follows the final dry-out check.

• If the source is plumbing, shut off the supply valve when it is safe to reach.
