How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Ripley

1. Pump and extract the water

   A technician removes pooled water from the lowest affected room. Extraction follows the path into adjacent space. Water that crossed a threshold may need a second extraction pass.

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

4. Dry and confirm with readings
