How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Cardinal

Moisture can migrate through trim and into wall cavities. Meter readings identify places where drying needs to continue.

1. Pump and extract the water

   A main break can fill a low area quickly. Pumps clear the bulk water while the crew watches for continued flow. Water depth and room layout determine where pumping begins.

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

   The crew measures framing near the water entry point. Nearby dry materials provide comparison readings. The assessor records each value so progress can be checked later.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   Contaminated drywall cannot simply be covered with new paint. Material handling follows the assessed water condition. A clean surface does not make saturated porous backing safe to keep.

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.
