How Gutter and Downspout Overflow Water Cleanup Works in Clayton

1. Remove standing water

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Pin and pinless meters show whether the Clayton floor still holds water below its finish.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Swollen drywall that has lost strength may need a controlled cut to expose framing.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers encourage evaporation while dehumidifiers capture moisture from the air.
