How Water Damage Cost Works in Ferguson
-
Remove standing water
Carpet and pad need more than surface wiping; a local crew presses extraction tools across the wet area.

Find absorbed moisture
A thermal camera can point toward cooler damp areas, which technicians confirm with direct readings.

Remove what cannot stay

- Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
- Photograph flooring before moving affected items.
- Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
