How Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Works in Wayland

3. Open what holds water

   The technician explains material removal based on contamination and readings.

4. Dry and verify

   Final moisture checks support the handoff to any later rebuild work.

• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
