Remove the standing water
Before any machine runs, the crew checks for live power and gas smells. Equipment is set up on safe power, never on a wet outlet.
-
Trace where the water went
Carpet, pad and flooring are checked from below as well as above, because a dry surface can sit over wet material.
-
Take out what cannot dry
Drywall that wicked water is cut above the wet edge so the framing can dry. The crew removes only what the readings call for.
-
Dry the structure and verify
On each visit the technician reads the same marked spots again. Falling numbers mean the plan works, and flat numbers mean the plan changes.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 31% of the housing near Bishopville was built in 2000 or later, often with sump systems and finished lower levels. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Bishopville was built in the 1980s. Drywall hung over a concrete wall in these homes can wick moisture upward. The crew cuts above the wet edge so the framing can dry.
Snowmelt and rain together raise the groundwater near the foundation. Sump pumps run hard and sometimes fall behind. In an owner-occupied home, the sump pump, water heater and washer are all the owner's to maintain. After a flood, each one gets checked by its own trade.
