How Water Line Break Flooding Cleanup Works in Key Largo

A service pipe flood may enter a crawl space and dampen the subfloor above. The crew looks at both sides of the assembly and sets equipment for the actual wet materials. Floor joists and insulation below the living area need their own readings even when the upper floor seems untouched.

   Heavy water in a crawl space may require pumping. The crew then checks the subfloor above for moisture.
