What Older and Historic Home Water Damage Water Cleanup Includes in Hollis

A Hollis crew uses meters during older and historic home water damage water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.

An aging supply pipe, roof entry or water moving through old finishes can soak plaster, lath, original wood floors and older trim. 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.

How Older and Historic Home Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Hollis

1. Remove standing water

   Portable units reach upper rooms where truck mounted equipment cannot be placed close to the loss.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   The crew compares wet material readings with a dry area of the same building.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Swollen drywall that has lost strength may need a controlled cut to expose framing.

4. Dry and verify

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A humid room slows evaporation from wet framing. LGR dehumidifiers pull moisture from room air as air movers lift it off surfaces.

• 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 plaster 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.
