Find absorbed moisture
A thermal camera can point toward cooler damp areas, which technicians confirm with direct readings.

Remove what cannot stay
Swollen drywall that has lost strength may need a controlled cut to expose framing.
-

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 unit ceilings 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.
