How Water Extraction Works in Compton

Gypsum board wicks moisture upward, frequently a foot or more beyond any visible mark. Every extra day spent wet means technicians cut out more panels instead of drying them where they hang.

1. Pull the standing water

   Extraction technicians drag truck-mounted or portable wands across carpet, padding and hard flooring. Sucking water out as liquid beats waiting for it to evaporate by a wide margin.

2. Measure where the moisture went

   Hardwood and subfloor numbers tell crews whether panels can dry where they lie or must come up.

3. Open up what traps water

   Anything touched by sewage gets cut out and thrown away instead of dried, consistent with how IICRC S500 treats Category 3 losses.

4. Dry, then prove it

   Air movers sweep humid air off soaked surfaces while LGR dehumidifiers wring that moisture from the room. Loss class determines how many units get set.
