How Structural Drying for Flood Cleanup Works in Attica

1. Remove standing water

   Moisture mapping identifies materials that still need a drying plan. Concealed saturation changes the scope of work.

3. Remove soaked material

   Soaked insulation is removed where it blocks proper drying. Exposed studs can then receive air movement.

4. Dry and verify

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