How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Norfolk

A wet carpet pad holds moisture against the floor. The crew removes accessible water and checks whether the pad can be dried.

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

   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.
