How Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Works in Chilcoot

1. Remove the standing water

   Pumps clear deeper water before extraction tools address the remaining wet floor.

   The crew traces saturation through carpet, pad and underlying layers.

3. Open what holds water

   Wet drywall sections may be removed to expose the cavity.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.
