How Flash Flood House Cleanup Works in Acme

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A crew identifies the floodwater path, sediment and wet rooms to shape the first work plan.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The contractor records the water removed and checks whether entry continues during the job.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

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

4. Dry and verify the structure

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Wait until local officials say the area is safe to enter.
• Keep children and pets away from floodwater and muddy rooms.
• Leave electrical switches alone when standing water remains nearby.
• Photograph the waterline and damaged belongings from a safe position.
• Call 24/7 and explain which rooms took in outside water.
