How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Catlin

A basement wall can absorb water above the visible level. Early extraction and measured drying reduce the time that drywall stays wet.

1. Pump and extract the water

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   A cabinet toe kick can block airflow to a wet cavity. Selective opening may be needed for access. The technician checks the newly exposed area before choosing equipment.

4. Dry and confirm with readings

   Daily measurements reveal slow areas. Equipment can be shifted toward the last wet section. A technician checks the slowest material before removing equipment.
