How Flood Water Removal Cost Works in Scheller

1. Remove the standing water

   Technicians pull water from carpet and hard surfaces after confirming safe access.

2. Map the moisture

   Recorded measurements set a baseline for the dry-out.

3. Open what holds water

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records progress until affected materials meet the drying plan.
