How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Higgins

A basement wall can absorb water above the visible level. Early extraction and measured drying reduce the time that drywall stays wet.

1. Pump and extract the water

   Before drying starts, accessible liquid is removed. This reduces the load on dehumidifiers. Removing liquid promptly limits how much later drying must handle.

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

   Hidden wetness can sit behind cabinets or trim. The assessor checks those edges before equipment placement. Water may travel behind a finish and emerge far from the entry point.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   Contaminated drywall cannot simply be covered with new paint. Material handling follows the assessed water condition. A clean surface does not make saturated porous backing safe to keep.

4. Dry and confirm with readings

   Daily measurements reveal slow areas. Equipment can be shifted toward the last wet section. A technician checks the slowest material before removing equipment.

• Check outside-water policy wording
• Ask about the deductible
