How Water Damage Cost Works in Lacota

1. Remove standing water

   A technician works from the wettest section toward unaffected rooms to contain the spread of water.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Pin and pinless meters show whether the Lacota floor still holds water below its finish.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Laminate that has swollen at the seams often cannot be dried back to its former shape.

4. Dry and verify

   A clear drying log helps explain when the structure was ready for rebuild work.

• Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
• Photograph flooring before moving affected items.
• Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
• Move dry valuables out of the path without walking through water.
