A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.

How Older and Historic Home Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Haleyville

1. Remove standing water

   Portable units reach upper rooms where truck mounted equipment cannot be placed close to the loss.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A room by room moisture map helps place drying gear where it will matter.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Insulation holding water can keep a wall cavity damp even after the surface feels dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers encourage evaporation while dehumidifiers capture moisture from the air.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Drywall absorbs water through its lower edge. Technicians check above the visible mark because moisture may have climbed inside the panel.

• Stop the water at a safe shutoff if the source is inside.
• Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
• Photograph plaster before moving affected items.
• Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
• Move dry valuables out of the path without walking through water.
