Soaked carpet, padding, and lower drywall that cannot be dried in place are carefully removed. This exposes the slab and framing in the Scott home so the drying process can reach all affected materials.
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure to a verified moisture target, tracked with daily readings. The failed pump is swapped out, often with a backup added to prevent the next outage from flooding the space again.
