What Structural Drying for Flood Cleanup Includes in Aurora

How Structural Drying for Flood Cleanup Works in Aurora

1. Remove standing water

   Pumps draw down deep water so the crew can reach floors and lower walls. The crew checks whether water is still entering.

2. Map moisture

   Moisture mapping identifies materials that still need a drying plan. Concealed saturation changes the scope of work.

3. Remove soaked material

   Contaminated porous materials are separated from salvageable finishes. The loss source informs contamination handling.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew adjusts equipment as the wet area changes. Stubborn damp spots may need different airflow.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A dry-looking surface can hide a wet backing layer. Moisture checks help the crew locate damp materials before they sit for days. A technician compares readings as equipment runs.

• A dry surface alone cannot confirm that a cavity or subfloor is dry.
• If the source is plumbing, shut off the supply valve when it is safe to reach.
• Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
• Move dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
• Photograph visible water and damaged belongings before moving them.

The 1,205 housing units in the Aurora ZIP area include varied floors and wall assemblies. Moisture checks must fit the actual structure.
