What Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Includes in Wyanet
A visible pool is only the start of flood water removal and structural drying in Wyanet. Subfloors and wall bases may still need drying.
After visible water is removed, damp framing and subfloors still need controlled drying. Studs, joists, wall cavities, and concrete can retain moisture at different depths. The work includes air movers and dehumidifiers, moisture mapping, and wall cavity drying.
If a ceiling drips after an upstairs plumbing failure, shut off the supply when safe. Technicians then inspect both levels and start the dry-out.
