What Older and Historic Home Water Damage Water Cleanup Includes in Giltner

A Giltner crew uses meters during older and historic home water damage water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.

An aging supply pipe, roof entry or water moving through old finishes can soak plaster, lath, original wood floors and older trim. 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.

Water beneath a floor does not disappear when a pipe is fixed. Restoration specialists measure its spread and open trapped areas where needed.

How Older and Historic Home Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Giltner
