How Flood Cleanup Works in Castleton
Delay lets water spread through seams and absorbent finishes. Call for cleanup while the affected area can be mapped promptly. After extraction, dehumidifiers address residual moisture.
-
Remove standing water
Basement water is pumped out before detailed material checks. Deep pooling may hide wet contents below the surface.
-
Map moisture
The technician checks wall bases, floors, and likely hidden paths. Readings also help define the equipment layout.
-
Remove soaked material
Carpet pad that cannot be dried safely may need to come out. Removal gives remaining wet layers a path to dry.

Dry and verify
Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.
