How Water Line Break Flooding Cleanup Works in Phillipsburg

1. Remove Standing Water

   The team documents the initial water depth where possible. Pumping and extraction prepare the structure for the next drying phase.

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   A floor covering can trap water beneath it. Lifting or removal may be needed to reach the wet layer.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Daily readings show whether materials are moving toward the drying goal.
