How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Becket

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

   A crew identifies the floodwater path, sediment and wet rooms to shape the first work plan.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Standing stormwater leaves the building through pumping matched to depth and debris.

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

   Daily moisture logs help confirm that wall and floor layers are moving toward drying goals.
