How Wet Carpet Water Cleanup Works in Tolstoy

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A room by room moisture map helps place drying gear where it will matter.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Swollen drywall that has lost strength may need a controlled cut to expose framing.

4. Dry and verify

   Technicians monitor humidity and material moisture, then record the results for the job file.
