How Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Works in Duson

1. Remove the standing water

   Extraction limits how much additional water enters porous finishes.

   Soaked padding can block drying of the floor beneath it.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.
