-
Extract the standing water

Map the moisture
Pin and pinless meters check different depths. The crew uses both on flooring, framing and drywall, then sketches the results.

Open what holds water

Air movers push dry air across wet surfaces, and LGR dehumidifiers pull vapor out of the room. The setup is sized to the wet area.
