How Flood Water Removal Works in Flat Lick
Drying progress is measured, not guessed from touch. Daily readings help show whether hidden moisture is falling.

Remove the standing water
Extraction limits how much additional water enters porous finishes.
-
Map the moisture
Meters show whether subfloors remain wet beyond the visible edge.
-
Open what holds water
Insulation that cannot dry safely is taken out before equipment runs.
-
Dry and verify
Final moisture checks support the handoff to any later rebuild work.
