How Vacant and Vacation Home Water Extraction Works in Sagle
-
Pull the standing water out
Furniture goes up on blocks or foil so wet carpet does not stain the legs or wick water up them. From there the crew works outward from the wettest spot, one room after another.
-
Map the moisture
A dry reading from an unaffected room sets the target. A material counts as dry when it reads close to that number.
-
Open what holds water
Category 3 water changes the rules, and porous materials it touched come out rather than dry. The crew bags drywall, pad and insulation from those areas.
-
Dry and verify
Readings each day track progress against the dry reference. When one area lags, the technician moves or adds a machine.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Daily readings show whether the plan works. If the numbers stall, the crew adds air movers or dehumidifiers instead of waiting for the walls to look dry.
- Shut off the water at the main if you can reach it safely.
- Ask the neighbor or caretaker to stay out of wet areas until a crew arrives.
- Tell the crew how to get in: keys, a lockbox code or a caretaker.
- Check your thermostat settings, but keep space heaters away from wet areas.
- Photograph the water and the damage, and note when you were last at the home.
