How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Plymouth

The assessor checks subfloor layers before new flooring covers them. Mold may start forming after about one to two days of dampness.

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

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