How Water Line Break Flooding Cleanup Works in Marathon Shores

   An extraction team starts at the lowest flooded point and works across accessible rooms. The water source must already be controlled.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   Dirty water can change what porous finishes can be kept. A technician assesses contamination and material condition.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   A room can feel dry before hidden layers reach target moisture levels. The crew checks both the surface and the assembly below.
