How Attic Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Wessington

1. Remove standing water

   A technician works from the wettest section toward unaffected rooms to contain the spread of water.

2. Find absorbed moisture

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

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.

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.

• 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.
