How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Artois

A crawl space flood may wet framing overhead. Drying the air without checking joists can leave concealed moisture.

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

   Meters trace dampness into baseboards and subfloors. The drying plan follows those readings. Comparison readings help distinguish damage from ordinary material variation.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   A cabinet toe kick can block airflow to a wet cavity. Selective opening may be needed for access. The technician checks the newly exposed area before choosing equipment.

4. Dry and confirm with readings

   Air movers and dehumidifiers pull moisture from exposed materials. Final readings show whether the target is met. Final readings can support the next contractor work on floors and walls.
