How Attic Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Fulton

1. Remove standing water

   Portable units reach upper rooms where truck mounted equipment cannot be placed close to the loss.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Pin and pinless meters show whether the Fulton 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

   Daily readings show whether equipment placement should change as the loss dries.

Stopping the source limits new water, but it does not dry existing saturation. The extraction crew removes liquid water and measures the materials left behind.

• Stop the water at a safe shutoff if the source is inside.
• Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
• Photograph loose insulation before moving affected items.
• Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
• Move dry valuables out of the path without walking through water.
