How Storm Water Removal Works in Berne

Wet wall insulation slows drying inside a cavity. The technician assesses removal so framing can be cleaned and monitored.

1. Establish safe access

   The technician identifies submerged electrical equipment before entering the Berne room. Occupants remain outside the water path.

2. Remove the standing water

   Deep pools are lowered with pumping equipment. Extraction tools then address remaining liquid near floor edges.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Cleaning follows removal of saturated debris. Technicians treat exposed surfaces appropriate to the contamination.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew monitors wet framing and subfloors over time. Visible dryness alone does not end the job.
