-
Drain the water above
Controlled release keeps the water off your carpet. The technician works from the edge of the bulge toward the center while everyone stays clear.

Extract the floor and the cavity

Open and remove what is soaked

Dry and verify
IICRC S500 is the industry drying standard, and the crew follows its approach to setting up and checking equipment.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 77% of occupied homes near Hitchcock are lived in by their owners, so many claims go to a homeowners insurer while the rest involve a landlord and a renters policy. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Hitchcock was built in the 1970s. Single-pane windows and aging seals let rain run down into the wall tops. A stain along the ceiling edge near a window often traces back to that.
Freeze and thaw cycles crack sealant and lift shingles over a winter. Spring rain then finds the new gaps. Most homes near Hitchcock are lived in by their owners, so the person calling usually holds the homeowners policy and approves the work.
