How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Pomona

A flooded basement often retains humidity after standing water leaves. Mold may appear on wet materials as early as 24 to 48 hours.

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

   An extraction team removes pooled floodwater so damp layers can be assessed more accurately.

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.
