How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Califon

Moisture can migrate through trim and into wall cavities. Meter readings identify places where drying needs to continue.

1. Pump and extract the water

   Before drying starts, accessible liquid is removed. This reduces the load on dehumidifiers. Removing liquid promptly limits how much later drying must handle.

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

   Lower wall cavities are examined where water climbed. Recorded values mark the drying targets. Different materials call for different measurement methods.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   Soaked porous finishes may need removal after contact with dirty water. The remaining structure is cleaned and dried. The crew keeps a note of each exposed cavity for the homeowner record.

4. Dry and confirm with readings

   Air movers and dehumidifiers pull moisture from exposed materials. Final readings show whether the target is met. Final readings can support the next contractor work on floors and walls.
