-
Drain the water above

-
Extract the floor and the cavity
The extraction tech also checks baseboards, wall bottoms and lower cabinets for water that wicked down from the ceiling.
-
Open and remove what is soaked
Soaked insulation goes into bags, and drywall that has gone soft comes down in sections. The crew cuts back to dry, solid edges.
-
Dry and verify
At each visit, the technician reads the same marked spots and logs the numbers. When they match a dry reference, the equipment goes.
