How Flood Cleanup Works in Peosta
Carpet pad and insulation can hold moisture after a room looks normal. Drying equipment and readings address that concealed water. Carpet that feels dry can still hide wet padding.
-
Remove standing water
Basement water is pumped out before detailed material checks. Deep pooling may hide wet contents below the surface.
-
Map moisture

-
Remove soaked material
The crew opens wet wall areas when access is needed for drying. A technician records the material taken out.
-
Dry and verify
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry materials that can stay in place. Humidity control supports evaporation from structural materials.
