How Septic Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Tiff

2. Map the moisture

   A technician checks wall bases and adjoining rooms for water migration.

   Cabinet toe kicks may need access so trapped moisture can escape.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.
