How Storm Water Removal Works in Macksburg

A clean-looking surface can hide damp backing after runoff. Technicians check the assembly before they decide how to dry it.

1. Establish safe access

   A written material record helps explain why demolition occurred. The next construction phase waits for dry conditions.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment may move as materials release water at different rates. Final measurements support the dry-out record.
