What Structural Drying Includes in New Laguna
A New Laguna crew uses meters during structural drying to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
Water absorbed by building materials after visible water is gone can soak studs, subfloor, masonry, drywall and concealed cavities. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.
Outside storm water requires a different source solution from indoor plumbing. Once entry stops, mitigation workers remove standing water and inspect absorbent materials.

How Structural Drying Works in New Laguna
-
Remove standing water
Portable units reach upper rooms where truck mounted equipment cannot be placed close to the loss.
-
Find absorbed moisture
The crew compares wet material readings with a dry area of the same building.
-
Remove what cannot stay
Dirty water on porous materials changes the work: contaminated pieces usually come out.
-
Dry and verify
Wood framing may need longer drying than nearby drywall; meters reveal the difference.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Stopping the source limits new water, but it does not dry existing saturation. The extraction crew removes liquid water and measures the materials left behind.
- 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 studs 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.
