The Importance of a Flood Cut

Water damage had completely saturated the carpet and started to wick up the dry wall. To prevent the water from continuing to affect more of the drywall, A two-foot cut is done all along the base. That drywall is removed and can be replaced. The carpet is also stripped, so fans can effectively dry the areas that still need attention. Additionally, the insides can be dried and sanitized behind wall cavity. This term is used in water remediation as well as construction for describing partial removal of drywall, allowing access to framing and salvageable materials to continue the drying process. The drywall can easily be fixed, making it look “Like it never even happened.”
