How Wet Insulation Flood Water Removal Works in Mapleton

1. Remove the standing water

   The crew isolates dirty water before clearing the affected area.

2. Map the moisture

   Moisture readings establish where drying equipment must work.

   Wet drywall sections may be removed to expose the cavity.

• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
