What Older and Historic Home Water Damage Water Cleanup Includes in Dhs

A Dhs crew uses meters during older and historic home water damage water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.

An aging supply pipe, roof entry or water moving through old finishes can soak plaster, lath, original wood floors and older trim. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.

How Older and Historic Home Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Dhs

1. Remove standing water

   For a large indoor pool, the team first lowers the level before addressing saturated finishes.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   The crew compares wet material readings with a dry area of the same building.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Dirty water on porous materials changes the work: contaminated pieces usually come out.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers encourage evaporation while dehumidifiers capture moisture from the air.

• Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
