How Flood Water Removal Works in Fortine
Water beneath vinyl can linger after mopping. Since a waterlogged substrate can support mold within 24 to 48 hours, technicians assess the substrate and avoid sealing moisture under a new finish.
-
Pump or extract liquid water
Pumps address volume; extraction tools reach remaining liquid in accessible materials. The technician notes any area still taking on water.
-
Find moisture beyond the puddle
After a basement pump out, wall insulation and trim may still hold moisture. Measurements show where material needs opening.
-
Remove materials that hold unsafe water
A clean water loss may allow some finishes to dry in place. The choice depends on the material, duration and measured saturation.
-
Dry the structure and confirm progress
Dehumidification collects moisture released into the indoor air. The readings create a record of the dry-out for the property owner.
