How Older and Historic Home Flood Water Removal Works in Loxahatchee

1. Remove the standing water

   Extraction limits how much additional water enters porous finishes.

2. Map the moisture

   Meters show whether subfloors remain wet beyond the visible edge.

3. Open what holds water

   Wet drywall sections may be removed to expose the cavity.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment placement changes when measurements reveal a stubborn area.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Keep clear of unstable plaster and avoid disturbing old finishes before evaluation.
• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
