What Main Water Line Break Water Extraction Includes in Froid

The pipe that carries water from the street meter into a house runs at full utility pressure. When it breaks near the foundation, the flow can pour through a wall, push up through a slab or fill a crawl space within hours.
A clogged sewer or drain needs a drain cleaner to clear the blockage and a restoration crew to handle the Category 3 mess it left behind. One visit does not replace the other.

How Main Water Line Break Water Extraction Works in Froid
-
Pull the standing water out
A flooded basement or crawl space needs a submersible pump first. The crew pumps it down to a thin film, then finishes the floor with wands and weighted tools.
-
Map the moisture
A dry reading from an unaffected room sets the target. A material counts as dry when it reads close to that number.
-
Open what holds water
Carpet pad acts like a sponge and dries badly where it lies, so it usually comes up first. When the water was clean, the carpet above it can often be saved.
-
Dry and verify
Air movers sweep moist air off wet surfaces while LGR dehumidifiers pull the moisture out of the room. The crew sizes both to the evaporation load of the space.

- Close the main valve inside the house if you can reach it dry.
- Call the water utility to report a break near the meter.
- Stay out of a flooded basement until its power is off.
- Photograph the flooding, the meter and anything ruined.
