How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Mallie

Water behind cabinets may be missed by a quick surface wipe. The restoration team measures the backing and nearby floor before setting equipment.

1. Pump and extract the water

   Standing water in a crawl space needs controlled pumping. Wet floor surfaces receive further extraction. The crew checks that the source has stopped before moving to drying equipment.

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

   Concrete and wood respond differently to flooding. Moisture mapping identifies each affected material. The map shows where equipment should focus first.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   Contaminated drywall cannot simply be covered with new paint. Material handling follows the assessed water condition. A clean surface does not make saturated porous backing safe to keep.

4. Dry and confirm with readings

   Air movers and dehumidifiers pull moisture from exposed materials. Final readings show whether the target is met. Final readings can support the next contractor work on floors and walls.
