How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Hamilton

Water left under flooring can keep a subfloor damp after the room looks clear. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet material.

1. Pump and extract the water

   Water trapped under loose coverings is exposed for removal. The team checks nearby flooring afterward. Edges near trim and door frames receive attention after the central area is cleared.

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

   The crew compares current moisture with unaffected material. Drying ends after the affected layers reach the goal. The record explains why a surface was considered dry.

• Check outside-water policy wording
