How Water Line Break Flooding Cleanup Works in Pratts

1. Remove Standing Water

   A main break can leave pockets of water behind trim or thresholds. Extraction follows the actual spread rather than one visible puddle.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   Soft or swollen trim can show prolonged saturation. The restoration team evaluates it as part of the drying plan.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   The technician adjusts equipment when a wall or floor dries more slowly than nearby materials. Completion follows measured conditions.
