How Attic Flood Water Removal Works in Retsof

1. Remove the standing water

   A crew starts with the visible pool, using equipment suited to its depth.

2. Map the moisture

   Hidden cavities are assessed where the water path suggests intrusion.

3. Open what holds water

   Soaked padding can block drying of the floor beneath it.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records progress until affected materials meet the drying plan.

Porous drywall absorbs floodwater along its lower edge. The crew checks the depth and contamination before deciding what can remain.

• Avoid walking on ceiling board or touching wet wiring in the attic.
• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
