Water has stopped pouring into a water-damaged home. That's great news! But unfortunately the battle is only half won. With the immediate crisis at bay, the next move is to devise a plan to tackle the standing water that remains. While it might be tempting to whip out the pumps and start extracting immediately, there's a crucial step that can't be overlooked.
You’ll need to calculate the volume of standing water to effectively address the water damage and get a sense of what you’re dealing with. Get this wrong, and you’re putting the integrity of the building at risk. Not extracting water properly can place uneven pressure on the walls, causing issues that are much harder to fix later on.
