How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Onyx

Water left under flooring can keep a subfloor damp after the room looks clear. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet material.

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

   Hidden wetness can sit behind cabinets or trim. The assessor checks those edges before equipment placement. Water may travel behind a finish and emerge far from the entry point.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   Insulation in a flooded crawl space may stay saturated. Removing affected sections allows joists to dry. Drying the wood below may require access beyond the visible opening.

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.
