How Water Line Break Flooding Cleanup Works in Ludlow

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   Saturated insulation may block drying in a wall cavity. The crew removes material that cannot dry safely.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   The technician adjusts equipment when a wall or floor dries more slowly than nearby materials. Completion follows measured conditions.
