What is the first step in commercial water removal?
Making the area safe and stopping the source, then protecting stock, records and equipment before extraction begins.
What happens to wet drywall during office water damage cleanup?
Drywall that wicked water is cut back above the wet line so the wall cavity can dry, then replaced later.
