Simply airing out a room or pointing a fan at the floor will not properly dry out an area that has experienced flooding or water damage. Because of water’s fluid properties, it will seep through porous materials to other structures or behind baseboards and drywall. When you’ve had a water damage emergency at your house, it’s best to have a certified water mitigation specialist come onsite to do moisture testing on surfaces and adjacent areas to determine the true extent of the water damage.
