How Flash Flood House Cleanup Works in Clendenin

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   Before extraction, workers determine which access points remain stable and dry.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Pumps remove deeper water; extraction tools pull smaller remaining pools from reachable areas.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The crew opens affected wall bases when contaminated materials cannot be restored in place.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Dehumidifiers and directed airflow dry remaining materials while meter readings show progress.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous materials need attention after outside flooding. When left wet, they can support mold before two days have passed.

• Wait until local officials say the area is safe to enter.
• Keep children and pets away from floodwater and muddy rooms.
• Leave electrical switches alone when standing water remains nearby.
• Photograph the waterline and damaged belongings from a safe position.
• Call 24/7 and explain which rooms took in outside water.
