How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Pomeroy

Moisture can migrate through trim and into wall cavities. Meter readings identify places where drying needs to continue.

1. Pump and extract the water

   Standing water in a crawl space needs controlled pumping. Wet floor surfaces receive further extraction. The crew checks that the source has stopped before moving to drying equipment.

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

   Lower wall cavities are examined where water climbed. Recorded values mark the drying targets. Different materials call for different measurement methods.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   A cabinet toe kick can block airflow to a wet cavity. Selective opening may be needed for access. The technician checks the newly exposed area before choosing equipment.

4. Dry and confirm with readings

   Daily measurements reveal slow areas. Equipment can be shifted toward the last wet section. A technician checks the slowest material before removing equipment.
