How Bathroom Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Meraux

1. Remove standing water

   Pumps clear deep water in a Meraux basement, followed by extractors for the thin layer left on floors.

2. Find absorbed moisture

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

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Opening a trapped assembly gives air a path to the wet material inside.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily readings show whether equipment placement should change as the loss dries.

• Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
