How Black Water Category 3 Cleanup Works in White Pine

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 White Pine floor still holds water below its finish.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Opening a trapped assembly gives air a path to the wet material inside.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers encourage evaporation while dehumidifiers capture moisture from the air.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on damp materials. Fast extraction and dehumidification lower the time walls and floors remain wet.

• Stop the water at a safe shutoff if the source is inside.
• Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
• Photograph carpet 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.
