How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in New Salem

A wet carpet pad holds moisture against the floor. The crew removes accessible water and checks whether the pad can be dried.

1. Pump and extract the water

   Water trapped under loose coverings is exposed for removal. The team checks nearby flooring afterward. Edges near trim and door frames receive attention after the central area is cleared.

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

   The crew measures framing near the water entry point. Nearby dry materials provide comparison readings. The assessor records each value so progress can be checked later.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   Soaked porous finishes may need removal after contact with dirty water. The remaining structure is cleaned and dried. The crew keeps a note of each exposed cavity for the homeowner record.

4. Dry and confirm with readings

   The crew compares current moisture with unaffected material. Drying ends after the affected layers reach the goal. The record explains why a surface was considered dry.
