How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Pilot Rock

A flooded basement often retains humidity after standing water leaves. Mold may appear on wet materials as early as 24 to 48 hours.

   Workers clear water and sediment from accessible surfaces before the detailed moisture map.

   The crew opens affected wall bases when contaminated materials cannot be restored in place.

4. Dry and verify the structure

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