How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Squirrel Island

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   Before extraction, workers determine which access points remain stable and dry.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The crew works from safe access toward wet rooms, taking bulk water out before drying.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

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

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