How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Fallon

   Water trapped under loose coverings is exposed for removal. The team checks nearby flooring afterward. Edges near trim and door frames receive attention after the central area is cleared.

   A room may look dry from above while the pad beneath remains wet. Technicians check the layers. A nearby wall base can be wet even when the floor looks clean.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

4. Dry and confirm with readings

   Daily measurements reveal slow areas. Equipment can be shifted toward the last wet section. A technician checks the slowest material before removing equipment.
