How Water Removal Works in Reseda

Moisture trapped behind baseboards, under cabinets or inside wall cavities does not show on the surface. Meters and a thermal camera find it before it turns into a smell.

1. Pump out the standing water

   Extraction starts at the lowest point and works outward. Doors are propped open, furniture goes up on blocks and anything that can wick water is moved clear.

2. Map the moisture

   Readings are taken in the wet rooms and in a dry reference room. The dry reference sets the target the wet materials must reach.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Not everything is torn out. Carpet over a clean water spill, hardwood and solid cabinets are often dried in place when the meters allow it.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and LGR dehumidifiers are sized to each room's water load. Placement shifts as the materials dry.
