How Flood Cleanup Works in Capitan
Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Prompt extraction reduces the time water remains inside floors and walls. The crew also checks absorbent layers below the surface.
-
Remove standing water

-
Map moisture
The technician checks wall bases, floors, and likely hidden paths. Readings also help define the equipment layout.
-
Remove soaked material
Carpet pad that cannot be dried safely may need to come out. Removal gives remaining wet layers a path to dry.
-
Dry and verify
Further readings show whether the drying setup is working. A stable downward trend shows drying progress.
