How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Cornish

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

   The crew opens affected wall bases when contaminated materials cannot be restored in place.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.
