How Rental Property and Landlord Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Clayton

1. Remove standing water

   Pumps clear deep water in a Clayton basement, followed by extractors for the thin layer left on floors.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A room by room moisture map helps place drying gear where it will matter.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Soaked carpet pad may be lifted so the floor beneath it can dry.

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 rental floors 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.
