How Flood Cleanup Works in Franklin
Standing water is the visible part of a flood loss. The crew also checks hidden materials that could remain moist after pumping. Pumping alone does not dry a wall cavity.

Remove standing water
A crew clears accessible standing water and watches for continued inflow. Continued inflow needs source control before drying.
-
Map moisture
The technician checks wall bases, floors, and likely hidden paths. Readings also help define the equipment layout.
-
Remove soaked material
Carpet pad that cannot be dried safely may need to come out. Removal gives remaining wet layers a path to dry.
-
Dry and verify
Final checks document the remaining structure after extraction. Records can explain the work to an insurer.
