How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Waldo

A drying plan should follow contaminated material removal. On surfaces that remain wet, mold can begin during the first 24 to 48 hours.

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

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

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

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