How Wall and Drywall Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Chama

1. Remove standing water

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Pin and pinless meters show whether the Chama floor still holds water below its finish.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Opening a trapped assembly gives air a path to the wet material inside.

4. Dry and verify

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

• 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 painted board before moving affected items.
• Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
