How Water Line Break Flooding Cleanup Works in Bartow

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   Saturated insulation may block drying in a wall cavity. The crew removes material that cannot dry safely.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   The drying plan changes with water category, saturation and material type. Technicians log progress rather than relying on a fixed day count.
