How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Tofte

A wet carpet pad holds moisture against the floor. The crew removes accessible water and checks whether the pad can be dried.

1. Pump and extract the water

   Deep basement water is pumped first. The crew then extracts remaining surface moisture. A hose path and equipment position are chosen around safe access to the flooded area.

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

   Concrete and wood respond differently to flooding. Moisture mapping identifies each affected material. The map shows where equipment should focus first.

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

   Daily measurements reveal slow areas. Equipment can be shifted toward the last wet section. A technician checks the slowest material before removing equipment.
