How Main Water Line Break Water Cleanup Works in Fairplay

1. Remove standing water

   Pumps clear deep water in a Fairplay basement, followed by extractors for the thin layer left on floors.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Pin and pinless meters show whether the Fairplay floor still holds water below its finish.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Soaked carpet pad may be lifted so the floor beneath it can dry.

4. Dry and verify

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Drywall absorbs water through its lower edge. Technicians check above the visible mark because moisture may have climbed inside the panel.

• Close the main valve or contact the water utility for the exterior shutoff.
• Stay out of deep water near electrical panels.
• Move valuables away if safe.
• Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
• Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.
