2. Extract standing floodwater

   Workers clear water and sediment from accessible surfaces before the detailed moisture map.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.

The typical home in the ZIP codes around Ashford was built in the 1970s. A finished lower level can add carpet and pad to the Category 3 removal scope.

Short cold spells do not make outside water sanitary. Owner-occupied property still requires a check of safe access before extraction.
