What Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Includes in Pelican

After visible water is removed, damp framing and subfloors still need controlled drying. Studs, joists, wall cavities, and concrete can retain moisture at different depths. The work includes air movers and dehumidifiers, moisture mapping, and wall cavity drying.

The source of a leak and its damage are separate jobs. A qualified trade fixes the source, and a water damage crew dries the structure.

How Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Works in Pelican

1. Remove the standing water

   The crew isolates dirty water before clearing the affected area.

2. Map the moisture

   A technician checks wall bases and adjoining rooms for water migration.

3. Open what holds water

   Cabinet toe kicks may need access so trapped moisture can escape.

4. Dry and verify

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A dry-looking floor may hide a wet pad underneath. Moisture readings help reveal that hidden water before it lingers.

• Leave wet electrical areas alone and avoid sealing walls or floors before moisture checks.
• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
• Call (888) 399-5795 for 24/7 flood water removal.
