How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Oquawka

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

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

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

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

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