After visible water is removed, damp framing and subfloors still need controlled drying. Studs, joists, wall cavities, and concrete can retain moisture at different depths. The work includes air movers and dehumidifiers, moisture mapping, and wall cavity drying.
Flooding can involve several trades at once. The extraction crew focuses on the water, wet materials and drying records while the source is corrected.
