How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Walkerton
Damp insulation can stay wet inside a closed cavity. Technicians open affected sections when needed to expose and dry remaining materials.
-
Pump and extract the water
A technician removes pooled water from the lowest affected room. Extraction follows the path into adjacent space. Water that crossed a threshold may need a second extraction pass.
-
Map moisture beyond the puddle
Lower wall cavities are examined where water climbed. Recorded values mark the drying targets. Different materials call for different measurement methods.
-
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.
-
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.
