How Furniture and Contents Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Old Lyme

1. Remove standing water

   Portable units reach upper rooms where truck mounted equipment cannot be placed close to the loss.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Wall bases get checked after extraction because drywall can wick water above the floor mark.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Swollen drywall that has lost strength may need a controlled cut to expose framing.

4. Dry and verify

   Wood framing may need longer drying than nearby drywall; meters reveal the difference.
