Flood Cuts
9/28/2022 (Permalink)
A wall that has been contaminated by sewage should not be salvaged because the materials may contain harmful pathogens or bacteria. When this happens our team of professionals will perform a flood cut.
This process involves the cutting and removal of a section of drywall. Flood cuts are approximately 12-18 inches above wherever the water touches. This will prevent any moisture behind your walls from causing mold. Once the section of drywall has been removed, it provides a better opportunity for drying out framing and other wood components that are hidden. The faster moisture can be removed the less chance for secondary damage.
