How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Ogunquit

Water behind cabinets may be missed by a quick surface wipe. The restoration team measures the backing and nearby floor before setting equipment.

1. Pump and extract the water

   A main break can fill a low area quickly. Pumps clear the bulk water while the crew watches for continued flow. Water depth and room layout determine where pumping begins.

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

   Concrete and wood respond differently to flooding. Moisture mapping identifies each affected material. The map shows where equipment should focus first.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   A wet wall cavity may require opening to expose framing. The crew records what is taken out. Open sections let air reach framing that a finished wall would conceal.

4. Dry and confirm with readings

   Daily measurements reveal slow areas. Equipment can be shifted toward the last wet section. A technician checks the slowest material before removing equipment.
