How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Fort Riley

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

   The contractor photographs conditions and chooses protective measures for the contaminated area.

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 team separates salvageable hard materials from porous items that hold contamination.

4. Dry and verify the structure

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