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

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A thermal camera can point toward cooler damp areas, which technicians confirm with direct readings.

3. Remove what cannot stay

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

4. Dry and verify

   The crew compares final readings with the unaffected reference before equipment removal.
