Water rarely stays where you can see it.

It can move beneath flooring, behind baseboards, into wall cavities and through insulation. TMG begins by identifying the source and mapping the affected materials before establishing the drying scope.

Removal is not always the first answer.

Some assemblies can be dried in place. Others must be opened because of contamination, trapped moisture, material deterioration or lack of airflow. TMG considers the water category, time, material and access before recommending removal.

Insurance documentation

When a claim is involved, TMG can provide photographs, moisture readings, estimates and mitigation records. Coverage and payment decisions remain with the insurance carrier.

Answers about wet walls and hidden moisture

Learn when wet drywall can be dried or needs removal, how to recognize hidden water damage behind walls and cabinets, and what changes when mold develops after a water loss.

Before mitigation begins

Know what to expect.

What happens during the initial assessment?

TMG asks about the source and timing of the loss, inspects accessible affected areas and uses moisture measurements to help define the scope. Immediate safety concerns and next steps are explained before work begins.

How long will structural drying take?

Drying time depends on the materials, how far moisture has traveled and the drying conditions. Progress is assessed through monitoring rather than a fixed promise based only on the room’s appearance.

Will all wet materials need to be removed?

Not necessarily. Contamination, material condition and access for drying affect what can remain. TMG explains the proposed removals and the reasons for them.

What should I have ready when I contact TMG?

Share when the damage began, the likely source, the rooms affected and whether water is still entering. Photographs can help explain the situation. Call for active losses; use our email request option for non-urgent questions.
