How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Gorham

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

   Standing water in a crawl space needs controlled pumping. Wet floor surfaces receive further extraction. The crew checks that the source has stopped before moving to drying equipment.

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

   The crew measures framing near the water entry point. Nearby dry materials provide comparison readings. The assessor records each value so progress can be checked later.

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

   The crew compares current moisture with unaffected material. Drying ends after the affected layers reach the goal. The record explains why a surface was considered dry.
