What Tile and Subfloor Flood Cleanup Includes in Ruby
Every tile and subfloor flood cleanup loss has its own water path. In Ruby, the crew maps moisture and removes water from affected surfaces. The actual water source determines the first cleanup steps.
Water can pass through grout, floor penetrations or adjacent rooms and remain under tile. Water can move into mortar bed, plywood or OSB subfloor and nearby wall bases. Jobs involving water under floor tile, subfloor drying and wet plywood subfloor need a check beyond the visible puddle.
Water can keep soaking materials after the pipe is shut off. Extraction and dehumidification address the remaining damage inside the building. A wet wall cavity may need access for airflow.

- If the source is plumbing, shut off the supply valve when it is safe to reach.
