How Flood Cleanup Works in Merrill
Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Prompt extraction reduces the time water remains inside floors and walls. The crew also checks absorbent layers below the surface.
-
Remove standing water
After safety hazards are addressed, extraction reduces water sitting indoors. The remaining wet layers are assessed afterward.
-
Map moisture
Moisture mapping identifies materials that still need a drying plan. Concealed saturation changes the scope of work.
-
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
Further readings show whether the drying setup is working. A stable downward trend shows drying progress.
