How Basement Drain Backup Cleanup Works in Alpha
A backed-up drain can wet carpet backing long before the room smells damp. The crew maps those hidden areas and begins drying. Carpet edges near a doorway deserve attention even when the center of the room looks dry.

Treat affected materials

Dry and verify the structure
