How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Harlowton

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

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Standing stormwater leaves the building through pumping matched to depth and debris.

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.
