How Water Line Break Flooding Cleanup Works in Dillon

1. Remove Standing Water

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

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

   The drying plan changes with water category, saturation and material type. Technicians log progress rather than relying on a fixed day count.
