How Wall and Drywall Flood Water Removal Works in Chilhowee

1. Remove the standing water

   A crew starts with the visible pool, using equipment suited to its depth.

2. Map the moisture

   Moisture readings establish where drying equipment must work.

3. Open what holds water

   Insulation that cannot dry safely is taken out before equipment runs.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A dry-looking floor may hide a wet pad underneath. Moisture readings help reveal that hidden water before it lingers.

• Keep clear of wet outlets and have the water source stopped before opening the wall.
• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
• Call (888) 399-5795 for 24/7 flood water removal.
