How Water Extraction Works in Mount Baldy

1. Pull the standing water

   Technicians wearing protective gear pump and extract sewage or other contaminated water, then bag porous items it touched for disposal rather than drying.

2. Measure where the moisture went

   Infrared cameras highlight cool, damp patches across ceilings or walls, and pin meters verify each one. That sketch then joins the claim paperwork.

3. Open up what traps water

   Ceiling drywall bowing under water gets lowered safely before it drops on its own. Crews then bag soggy insulation from above.

4. Dry, then prove it

   Plastic containment can shrink the drying zone so machines concentrate on wet areas. After numbers hit target, technicians pack up containment and equipment together.
