How Water Line Break Flooding Cleanup Works in Iron River

1. Remove Standing Water

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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Daily readings show whether materials are moving toward the drying goal.
