What happened in Green Bay
This Green Bay basement, from April 2023, had water spread across a painted concrete floor and into the bottom of the walls. The crew extracted the standing water, pulled the wet trim and wall material, and set up drying equipment through the space.
The photos show air movers and a dehumidifier running in the hallway and side rooms, the opened wall along a utility area, and the water marks and residue left on the floor. Close-ups show the moisture meter and a thermo-hygrometer, which tracks the temperature and humidity in the air so the crew can tell whether the drying is on pace.
Painted concrete hides how much water soaked into the edges of a room. Checking along the walls and under the trim is how you find the moisture the floor doesn't show.
