How Window Well Flood Cleanup Works in Cotati
-
Remove standing water
Extraction tools collect pooled water from carpet and hard surfaces. Edges and low points can hold residual water.
-
Map moisture
Moisture mapping identifies materials that still need a drying plan. Concealed saturation changes the scope of work.
-
Remove soaked material
Soaked insulation is removed where it blocks proper drying. Exposed studs can then receive air movement.
-
Dry and verify
Further readings show whether the drying setup is working. A stable downward trend shows drying progress.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A shutoff valve stops a pipe leak, but it does not dry the house. Extraction and dehumidification handle the moisture already indoors. Water may be held between finish and subfloor.
- Avoid entering a room with energized wet outlets.
- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
- Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
