How Wall and Drywall Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Orrs Island

1. Remove standing water

   Pumps clear deep water in a Orrs Island 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

   Insulation holding water can keep a wall cavity damp even after the surface feels dry.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew compares final readings with the unaffected reference before equipment removal.

• Photograph painted board before moving affected items.
• Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
