How Water Damage Cost Works in Whitetail

1. Remove standing water

   Hard surfaces are vacuumed carefully so liquid does not keep migrating beneath baseboards.

2. Find absorbed moisture

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

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Laminate that has swollen at the seams often cannot be dried back to its former shape.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew compares final readings with the unaffected reference before equipment removal.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Drywall absorbs water through its lower edge. Technicians check above the visible mark because moisture may have climbed inside the panel.

• Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
• Photograph flooring before moving affected items.
• Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
