How Flood Cleanup Works in Fairplay

Map moisture
A damp ceiling may reveal water from a room above. Lower ceilings may carry water from upstairs.
-
Remove soaked material
Contaminated porous materials are separated from salvageable finishes. The loss source informs contamination handling.
-
Dry and verify
A technician records progress before equipment is removed. Rebuild planning follows the final dry-out check.
