How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Alexis

Water left under flooring can keep a subfloor damp after the room looks clear. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet material.

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

   Meters trace dampness into baseboards and subfloors. The drying plan follows those readings. Comparison readings help distinguish damage from ordinary material variation.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   Insulation in a flooded crawl space may stay saturated. Removing affected sections allows joists to dry. Drying the wood below may require access beyond the visible opening.

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.
