How Water Line Break Flooding Cleanup Works in Curlew

Dehumidification alone cannot remove pooled water. Extraction comes first; then the drying team uses airflow and repeat measurements to manage remaining moisture. Equipment placement follows the measured boundary, with later checks showing whether humidity and material readings fall.

1. Remove Standing Water

   The team documents the initial water depth where possible. Pumping and extraction prepare the structure for the next drying phase.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   Water traveling through a wall opening may reach insulation. Moisture mapping helps decide whether access is needed.

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   Saturated insulation may block drying in a wall cavity. The crew removes material that cannot dry safely.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   A room can feel dry before hidden layers reach target moisture levels. The crew checks both the surface and the assembly below.
