How Snowmelt Flood Cleanup Works in Imlay

1. Remove standing water

   Basement water is pumped out before detailed material checks. Deep pooling may hide wet contents below the surface.

2. Map moisture

   A damp ceiling may reveal water from a room above. Lower ceilings may carry water from upstairs.

3. Remove soaked material

   The crew opens wet wall areas when access is needed for drying. A technician records the material taken out.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers dry materials that can stay in place. Humidity control supports evaporation from structural materials.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Keep water away from electrical equipment.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
