What Structural Drying Includes in Bruno
A Bruno crew uses meters during structural drying to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
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.
Outside storm water requires a different source solution from indoor plumbing. Once entry stops, mitigation workers remove standing water and inspect absorbent materials.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Drywall absorbs water through its lower edge. Technicians check above the visible mark because moisture may have climbed inside the panel.
- Stop the water at a safe shutoff if the source is inside.
- Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
- Photograph studs 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.
