How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Helix

Porous materials need attention after outside flooding. When left wet, they can support mold before two days have passed.

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The technician checks electrical exposure and safe entry before anyone pumps the Helix property.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Pumps remove deeper water; extraction tools pull smaller remaining pools from reachable areas.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

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

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.
