What Structural Drying Includes in Argyle
A flooded room in Argyle may need pumping before extraction tools can reach the remaining moisture. Structural Drying continues through daily drying checks.
Water absorbed by building materials after visible water is gone can soak studs, subfloor, masonry, drywall and concealed cavities. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.

How Structural Drying Works in Argyle
-
Remove standing water
Hard surfaces are vacuumed carefully so liquid does not keep migrating beneath baseboards.
-
Find absorbed moisture
Wall bases get checked after extraction because drywall can wick water above the floor mark.
-
Remove what cannot stay
Opening a trapped assembly gives air a path to the wet material inside.
-
Dry and verify
Wood framing may need longer drying than nearby drywall; meters reveal the difference.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A humid room slows evaporation from wet framing. LGR dehumidifiers pull moisture from room air as air movers lift it off surfaces.
- Stop the water at a safe shutoff if the source is inside.
- Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
- Photograph studs before moving affected items.
- Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
- Move dry valuables out of the path without walking through water.
