An aging supply pipe, roof entry or water moving through old finishes can soak plaster, lath, original wood floors and older trim. 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.
