How Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Works in San Ardo

1. Remove the standing water

   Extraction limits how much additional water enters porous finishes.

   Moisture readings establish where drying equipment must work.

3. Open what holds water

   Cabinet toe kicks may need access so trapped moisture can escape.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily checks show whether wet framing is moving toward its drying goal.
