How Flooded House After Heavy Rain Cleanup Works in Iona

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The assessor marks water levels and affected finishes while documenting Category 3 contact.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Standing stormwater leaves the building through pumping matched to depth and debris.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Category 3 contact often requires removal of porous carpet, pad and insulation.

4. Dry and verify the structure

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

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

• Wait for the rainwater to stop rising before entering affected rooms.
• Avoid touching outlets or cords near wet floors.
• Keep children and pets away from muddy water.
• Photograph the entry path and affected rooms from a safe place.
• Call 24/7 with the approximate number of wet rooms.
