How Water Line Break Flooding Cleanup Works in Basile

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   Saturated insulation may block drying in a wall cavity. The crew removes material that cannot dry safely.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Daily readings show whether materials are moving toward the drying goal.
