What Structural Drying Includes in Grant
Water category matters during structural drying in Grant. Clean supply water, gray appliance discharge and sewage affect cleaning and material decisions.
Water absorbed by building materials after visible water is gone can soak studs, subfloor, masonry, drywall and concealed cavities. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.

- Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
- Photograph studs before moving affected items.
