What Structural Drying Includes in Braggadocio
A flooded room in Braggadocio 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.
