How Flash Flood House Cleanup Works in Dillon
-
Establish safe access
Floodwater can conceal debris beneath its surface. The crew checks entry and equipment routes before pumping.

A written material record helps explain why demolition occurred. The next construction phase waits for dry conditions.

Dry and verify
The crew monitors wet framing and subfloors over time. Visible dryness alone does not end the job.
