How Flood Cleanup Works in Sesser
Persistent dampness lets organic surfaces remain vulnerable. A technician tracks the dry-out with readings instead of relying on touch alone. Persistent dampness also affects indoor humidity.
-
Remove standing water
A crew clears accessible standing water and watches for continued inflow. Continued inflow needs source control before drying.
-
Map moisture
A damp ceiling may reveal water from a room above. Lower ceilings may carry water from upstairs.
-
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.
