How Burst Pipe Flood Cleanup Works in Stumpy Point

1. Remove standing water

2. Map moisture

   Subfloor seams and cabinet bases receive close moisture checks. Kitchen and bath finishes can conceal wet backing.

3. Remove soaked material

   Carpet pad that cannot be dried safely may need to come out. Removal gives remaining wet layers a path to dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Final checks document the remaining structure after extraction. Records can explain the work to an insurer.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Close the main water valve if safe.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
