What Structural Drying Includes in Hana
A flooded room in Hana may need pumping before extraction tools can reach the remaining moisture. Structural Drying continues through daily drying checks.
Water absorbed by building materials after visible water is gone can soak studs, subfloor, masonry, drywall and concealed cavities. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.
Cleanup starts after the source is controlled. A local water crew pumps, tests material moisture and places drying equipment, while the appropriate trade corrects the cause.

- Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
