How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Greendale

Damp insulation can stay wet inside a closed cavity. Technicians open affected sections when needed to expose and dry remaining materials.

1. Pump and extract the water

   Deep basement water is pumped first. The crew then extracts remaining surface moisture. A hose path and equipment position are chosen around safe access to the flooded area.

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

   A room may look dry from above while the pad beneath remains wet. Technicians check the layers. A nearby wall base can be wet even when the floor looks clean.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   Contaminated drywall cannot simply be covered with new paint. Material handling follows the assessed water condition. A clean surface does not make saturated porous backing safe to keep.

4. Dry and confirm with readings

   The crew compares current moisture with unaffected material. Drying ends after the affected layers reach the goal. The record explains why a surface was considered dry.
