How Flood Cleanup Works in River Falls
A shutoff valve stops a pipe leak, but it does not dry the house. Extraction and dehumidification handle the moisture already indoors. Water may be held between finish and subfloor.
-
Remove standing water
A crew clears accessible standing water and watches for continued inflow. Continued inflow needs source control before drying.
-
Map moisture
The crew measures porous materials before deciding what can remain. The water category affects material decisions.
-
Remove soaked material
Soaked insulation is removed where it blocks proper drying. Exposed studs can then receive air movement.
-
Dry and verify
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry materials that can stay in place. Humidity control supports evaporation from structural materials.
