How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Ghent

Water behind cabinets may be missed by a quick surface wipe. The restoration team measures the backing and nearby floor before setting equipment.

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

   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

   A wet wall cavity may require opening to expose framing. The crew records what is taken out. Open sections let air reach framing that a finished wall would conceal.

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.
