How Condo Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Columbus

1. Remove standing water

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Wall bases get checked after extraction because drywall can wick water above the floor mark.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Swollen drywall that has lost strength may need a controlled cut to expose framing.

• Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
