How Water Line Break Flooding Cleanup Works in Maquon

   An extraction team starts at the lowest flooded point and works across accessible rooms. The water source must already be controlled.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   The technician adjusts equipment when a wall or floor dries more slowly than nearby materials. Completion follows measured conditions.
