What Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Includes in Guildhall
A visible pool is only the start of flood water removal and structural drying in Guildhall. Subfloors and wall bases may still need drying.
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.
The source of a leak and its damage are separate jobs. A qualified trade fixes the source, and a water damage crew dries the structure.
