Standing water spreads across seams and into flooring layers. Extraction starts the process, then controlled airflow handles absorbed moisture.

Remove the pooled water
Standing water is drawn off first so it cannot keep feeding porous materials.

Trace damp materials
Readings at the ceiling and framing show whether an attic leak moved outward.
-
Expose trapped moisture
The technician opens wet materials only where needed to reach retained water.
-
Verify the dry-out
