How Flood Cleanup Works in Candler
Floodwater can wick into wallboard above the water mark. Early assessment shows where wet material must be opened or removed. Access openings can expose the actual wet edge.

Map moisture
Readings trace water beyond the visible puddle and into adjacent rooms. A nearby dry area can provide a useful comparison.

Remove soaked material

Dry and verify
Further readings show whether the drying setup is working. A stable downward trend shows drying progress.
