How Flood Cleanup Works in Empire
Persistent dampness lets organic surfaces remain vulnerable. A technician tracks the dry-out with readings instead of relying on touch alone. Persistent dampness also affects indoor humidity.
-
Remove standing water
Extraction tools collect pooled water from carpet and hard surfaces. Edges and low points can hold residual water.
-
Map moisture
A damp ceiling may reveal water from a room above. Lower ceilings may carry water from upstairs.
-
Remove soaked material
Material removal follows the water path and contamination level. The crew checks whether neighboring material is wet.
-
Dry and verify
Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.
