What Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Includes in Rydal

After visible water is removed, damp framing and subfloors still need controlled drying. Studs, joists, wall cavities, and concrete can retain moisture at different depths. The work includes air movers and dehumidifiers, moisture mapping, and wall cavity drying.
A roof leak needs a roofer to stop rain entry. Flood Water Removal Response Team addresses the indoor water already in insulation, ceilings and floors.
