How Upstairs Bathroom Leak Into Ceiling Flood Water Removal Works in Salem

   Meters reveal damp subfloor and wall bases that eyes cannot judge. The wet map tells the team where drying equipment belongs.

3. Remove materials that hold unsafe water

   A clean water loss may allow some finishes to dry in place. The choice depends on the material, duration and measured saturation.
