How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Smithers

The technician checks flooring seams because hidden wetness matters. Growth of mold may start in just 24 to 48 hours on water-damaged material.

   A walkthrough tracks where outside water reached flooring, walls and lower cavities.

2. Extract standing floodwater

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

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

   The crew adjusts equipment when humidity stays high or a cavity reading stops improving.
