What Structural Drying for Flood Cleanup Includes in Greeley

Water under a cabinet can move through seams before anyone notices. The plumbing fix and the structural dry-out are separate tasks. Prompt checks help define the actual dry-out area.

- 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.
