What we do on a Plantation Island water job

1. Extract standing water from tile, carpet, and pad.
2. Take moisture readings room by room to find water that has wicked into walls and under floors.
3. Remove baseboards, drywall, insulation, or pad that cannot be dried, and tell you on the first visit.
4. Set air movers and dehumidifiers sized to the wet area.
5. Re-check readings on each visit and pull the equipment only when the numbers say the job is done.

While you wait for the crew

• Take photos and video of the water and the source before cleanup starts.
• Skip the shop vac on anything near outlets, and never use a household vacuum on water.
• Open cabinet doors under wet sinks so they can start to air out.

Documentation for your insurer
