How Structural Drying for Flood Cleanup Works in Silva

1. Remove standing water

   The technician begins with the rooms holding the most water. Electrical hazards are addressed before wet-room access.

2. Map moisture

   The technician checks wall bases, floors, and likely hidden paths. Readings also help define the equipment layout.

3. Remove soaked material

4. Dry and verify

   A technician records progress before equipment is removed. Rebuild planning follows the final dry-out check.

• Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
• Move dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
• Photograph visible water and damaged belongings before moving them.
