How Flood Cleanup Works in Proctor

Map moisture
The technician checks wall bases, floors, and likely hidden paths. Readings also help define the equipment layout.
-
Remove soaked material
Material removal follows the water path and contamination level. The crew checks whether neighboring material is wet.

Dry and verify
