How Structural Drying for Flood Cleanup Works in Hebron

1. Remove standing water

   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

   Further readings show whether the drying setup is working. A stable downward trend shows drying progress.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• A dry surface alone cannot confirm that a cavity or subfloor is dry.
• If the source is plumbing, shut off the supply valve when it is safe to reach.
• Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
• Move dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
• Photograph visible water and damaged belongings before moving them.
