How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Bel Alton

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

   The contractor photographs conditions and chooses protective measures for the contaminated area.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Standing stormwater leaves the building through pumping matched to depth and debris.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Category 3 contact often requires removal of porous carpet, pad and insulation.

4. Dry and verify the structure

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