How Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Works in Pinebluff

1. Remove the standing water

   The crew isolates dirty water before clearing the affected area.

• Leave wet electrical areas alone and avoid sealing walls or floors before moisture checks.
• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
