How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Paterson

Damp insulation can stay wet inside a closed cavity. Technicians open affected sections when needed to expose and dry remaining materials.

1. Pump and extract the water

   A technician removes pooled water from the lowest affected room. Extraction follows the path into adjacent space. Water that crossed a threshold may need a second extraction pass.

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

   Concrete and wood respond differently to flooding. Moisture mapping identifies each affected material. The map shows where equipment should focus first.

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.
