How Flood Cleanup Works in Elliott
Standing water is the visible part of a flood loss. The crew also checks hidden materials that could remain moist after pumping. Pumping alone does not dry a wall cavity.
-
Remove standing water
A crew clears accessible standing water and watches for continued inflow. Continued inflow needs source control before drying.
-
Map moisture
Moisture mapping identifies materials that still need a drying plan. Concealed saturation changes the scope of work.
-
Remove soaked material
Contaminated porous materials are separated from salvageable finishes. The loss source informs contamination handling.
-
Dry and verify
Final checks document the remaining structure after extraction. Records can explain the work to an insurer.
