How Water Line Break Flooding Cleanup Works in French Creek

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   A floor covering can trap water beneath it. Lifting or removal may be needed to reach the wet layer.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   Structural drying targets framing and subfloors as well as visible surfaces. The team records final readings for the claim file.
