How Flood Cleanup Works in Ridott
Delay lets water spread through seams and absorbent finishes. Call for cleanup while the affected area can be mapped promptly. After extraction, dehumidifiers address residual moisture.
-
Remove standing water
The technician begins with the rooms holding the most water. Electrical hazards are addressed before wet-room access.
-
Map moisture
Moisture mapping identifies materials that still need a drying plan. Concealed saturation changes the scope of work.
-
Remove soaked material
Contaminated porous materials are separated from salvageable finishes. The loss source informs contamination handling.
-
Dry and verify
Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.
