How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Mahnomen

Wet framing in a Mahnomen home needs prompt measurement. Mold may begin growing on damp material in 24 to 48 hours.

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

   An extraction team removes pooled floodwater so damp layers can be assessed more accurately.

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

   The specialist compares wet framing with dry reference points before ending equipment use.
