What Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Includes in Max
Flood Water Removal Response Team starts flood water removal and structural drying in Max with an assessment of the water path. Call (888) 399-5795.
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.
The source of a leak and its damage are separate jobs. A qualified trade fixes the source, and a water damage crew dries the structure.
