What Water Under the House Water Cleanup Includes in Mallard
A Mallard crew uses meters during water under the house water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
A broken line, rising groundwater or runoff beneath an elevated home can soak pier supports, floor joists, underside insulation and subfloor. 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.
