What Gray Water Cleanup Includes in Casey
A Casey crew uses meters during gray water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
A used-water drain or washer discharge that spreads indoors can soak floor finishes, porous furniture, trim and low wallboard. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.
Water beneath a floor does not disappear when a pipe is fixed. Restoration specialists measure its spread and open trapped areas where needed.

How Gray Water Cleanup Works in Casey
-
Remove standing water
For a large indoor pool, the team first lowers the level before addressing saturated finishes.
-
Find absorbed moisture
The crew compares wet material readings with a dry area of the same building.

Remove what cannot stay

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Stop the water at a safe shutoff if the source is inside.
- Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
- Photograph floor finishes before moving affected items.
- Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
- Move dry valuables out of the path without walking through water.
