How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Castor

A crawl space flood may wet framing overhead. Drying the air without checking joists can leave concealed moisture.

1. Pump and extract the water

   Water trapped under loose coverings is exposed for removal. The team checks nearby flooring afterward. Edges near trim and door frames receive attention after the central area is cleared.

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

   Hidden wetness can sit behind cabinets or trim. The assessor checks those edges before equipment placement. Water may travel behind a finish and emerge far from the entry point.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   A wet wall cavity may require opening to expose framing. The crew records what is taken out. Open sections let air reach framing that a finished wall would conceal.

4. Dry and confirm with readings

   The crew compares current moisture with unaffected material. Drying ends after the affected layers reach the goal. The record explains why a surface was considered dry.
