How Structural Drying for Flood Cleanup Works in Blanco

1. Remove standing water

   Basement water is pumped out before detailed material checks. Deep pooling may hide wet contents below the surface.

2. Map moisture

   The technician checks wall bases, floors, and likely hidden paths. Readings also help define the equipment layout.

3. Remove soaked material

   Material removal follows the water path and contamination level. The crew checks whether neighboring material is wet.

4. Dry and verify

   A technician records progress before equipment is removed. Rebuild planning follows the final dry-out check.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• A dry surface alone cannot confirm that a cavity or subfloor is dry.
• If the source is plumbing, shut off the supply valve when it is safe to reach.
• Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
• Move dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
• Photograph visible water and damaged belongings before moving them.
