How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Dickerson

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The crew works from safe access toward wet rooms, taking bulk water out before drying.

   Sediment trapped under a finish may require access before the structure can dry.

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