How Water Line Break Flooding Cleanup Works in Ralph

Wet baseboards and lower wall sections can hold moisture after a homeowner mops the floor. The technician measures those areas and determines whether selective removal is needed. The crew compares trim readings with nearby unaffected wood before closing out that part of the drying plan.

1. Remove Standing Water

   Heavy water in a crawl space may require pumping. The crew then checks the subfloor above for moisture.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   A basement flood can wick into lower drywall. The crew compares affected readings with dry reference areas.

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   Soft or swollen trim can show prolonged saturation. The restoration team evaluates it as part of the drying plan.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   Structural drying targets framing and subfloors as well as visible surfaces. The team records final readings for the claim file.
