How Flood Cleanup Works in Thomson

Floodwater can wick into wallboard above the water mark. Early assessment shows where wet material must be opened or removed. Access openings can expose the actual wet edge.

  1. Remove standing water

    A crew clears accessible standing water and watches for continued inflow. Continued inflow needs source control before drying.

  2. Map moisture

    The technician checks wall bases, floors, and likely hidden paths. Readings also help define the equipment layout.

  3. Remove soaked material

    Carpet pad that cannot be dried safely may need to come out. Removal gives remaining wet layers a path to dry.

  4. Dry and verify

    Air movers and dehumidifiers dry materials that can stay in place. Humidity control supports evaporation from structural materials.
