A call comes in early: a supply line let go overnight and a finished basement is under an inch of water. He's on site fast because every hour standing water sits, the loss grows and mold gets closer. He extracts the standing water first, then pulls the soaked pad and uses the moisture meter and IR camera to map how far the water wicked up the drywall and under the LVP. He categorizes the loss, sets the drying plan, and stages air movers and dehumidifiers by the math, not by feel, because the insurer will check. He logs the starting moisture content of every wall and the room's grains per pound, because that first reading is the proof the drying worked. Midday he's at a different house doing a daily monitoring visit, re-reading every wall, adjusting equipment, and updating the drying log. An adjuster calls disputing how many air movers are running, and he walks through the affected square footage line by line. The afternoon is a Cat 3 sewage backup that needs containment and antimicrobial. He ends the day reconciling which jobs hit dry standard today and can have equipment pulled, and which need another night running.
