Typical job

What homeowners notice: Heavy rain drove water under a garage door and across the slab into the room beside it. The homeowner called the line after the rain had stopped.
What we do: The power to the wet area was checked before anyone entered. Standing water was pumped out, the wet pad was removed and readings were taken across the wall base and the floor.
What to expect: The drying plan was set from the readings, and the record of the water line and the materials removed was given to the homeowner for the insurer.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: A stain appeared on a ceiling several feet from the roof edge after a run of storms. The homeowner called the line when the drywall began to sag.
What we do: The sagging ceiling was removed in a controlled cut, the attic insulation above it was checked and the framing was read back along the rafters to the entry point.
What to expect: The drying was completed to the readings, and the path of the water was recorded so the roofer could start from the right place.

Varies with the size of the wet area typical visit

Typical job

What homeowners notice: A supply line inside an older plaster wall failed, and the first sign was a soft baseboard and a stain low on the wall. The homeowner shut off the main before calling.
What we do: Standing water on the floor was removed and the carpet pad was lifted. The plaster was read through a small low opening, and the cavity was dried with air movement and dehumidifiers.
What to expect: The crew handed the homeowner the map of the wet area, and the plumber who repaired the line used it to start from the break.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: A blocked condensate line made the drain pan overflow for several weeks. The homeowner noticed a stain on the ceiling of the room next to the closet and a soft closet floor.
What we do: The system was switched off, the pan and the line were cleared, and the closet floor and the framing beneath were read for moisture. The soaked closet floor was removed and the framing was dried.
What to expect: The record named the cause and the fix needed on the equipment, so the HVAC contractor the homeowner hired could act on it.

Varies with how long the overflow ran typical visit

Typical job

What homeowners notice: A bathroom leak on an upper floor ran down a shared wall cavity and stained the ceiling of the unit below. The owner was called before the crew began.
What we do: The source was shut off at the unit valve, and the neighboring ceilings and walls were read with moisture meters. Access to each affected unit was arranged through the manager, and the drying was planned unit by unit.
What to expect: A written record listing each unit, its readings and the materials removed was given to the owner, without deciding who should pay.
