How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Annapolis

Drying equipment controls moisture after the Category 3 cleanup. Mold can grow in 24 to 48 hours if building materials stay wet.

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

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

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Workers clean salvageable hard surfaces after gross debris and damaged porous layers are gone.

4. Dry and verify the structure

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

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Rain through a damaged opening and rising water from the ground may be treated differently by an insurer. The owner should describe the entry path accurately. The restoration technician records observed conditions. Only the insurer can interpret the policy for that damage.

• Ask for daily drying readings
• Photograph the first visible water mark
• Retain the crew’s moisture map

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
