How Flood Cleanup Works in Oglethorpe
Persistent dampness lets organic surfaces remain vulnerable. A technician tracks the dry-out with readings instead of relying on touch alone. Persistent dampness also affects indoor humidity.
-
Remove standing water
A crew clears accessible standing water and watches for continued inflow. Continued inflow needs source control before drying.
-
Map moisture
The technician checks wall bases, floors, and likely hidden paths. Readings also help define the equipment layout.
-
Remove soaked material
Soaked insulation is removed where it blocks proper drying. Exposed studs can then receive air movement.
-
Dry and verify
Further readings show whether the drying setup is working. A stable downward trend shows drying progress.
