How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Perkins

Damp insulation can stay wet inside a closed cavity. Technicians open affected sections when needed to expose and dry remaining materials.

1. Pump and extract the water

   A main break can fill a low area quickly. Pumps clear the bulk water while the crew watches for continued flow. Water depth and room layout determine where pumping begins.

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

   Lower wall cavities are examined where water climbed. Recorded values mark the drying targets. Different materials call for different measurement methods.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   A wet wall cavity may require opening to expose framing. The crew records what is taken out. Open sections let air reach framing that a finished wall would conceal.

4. Dry and confirm with readings

   Wet framing can take longer than a floor surface. Recorded progress determines when finish work can begin. Progress notes show when framing reached its drying goal.
