How Furniture and Contents Water Extraction Works in Cheyenne
-
Pull the standing water out
Furniture goes up on blocks or foil so wet carpet does not stain the legs or wick water up them. From there the crew works outward from the wettest spot, one room after another.
-
Map the moisture
Each room is sketched, and readings are logged at marked points. That map guides the equipment plan and later becomes part of the claim file.
-
Open what holds water
Every cut is photographed first with a timestamp. The file then shows why each piece left the house, and the crew removes only what the readings support.
-
Dry and verify
Clean-water losses commonly dry in three to five days, while hardwood, plaster and dense subfloors need longer. Machines run until the meters read dry, whatever the date.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
The window opens when the material gets wet, not when anyone spots a stain. A crew that starts the machines early keeps drywall and framing from staying damp through the risky stretch.
- Lift furniture and boxes off wet floors if you can do so safely.
- Move electronics, medications and valuables to a dry room.
- Separate wet papers and photos, and freeze them if drying cannot start right away.
- Do not use a hair dryer or oven on wet items.
- Take photos of every item before it moves.
