How Water Cleanup Works in Milton

A humid room slows evaporation from wet framing. LGR dehumidifiers pull moisture from room air as air movers lift it off surfaces.

1. Remove standing water

   Pumps clear deep water in a Milton basement, followed by extractors for the thin layer left on floors.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   The crew compares wet material readings with a dry area of the same building.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Soaked carpet pad may be lifted so the floor beneath it can dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers encourage evaporation while dehumidifiers capture moisture from the air.
