How Flood Cleanup Works in Mchenry
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
The crew measures porous materials before deciding what can remain. The water category affects material decisions.
-
Remove soaked material
The crew opens wet wall areas when access is needed for drying. A technician records the material taken out.
-
Dry and verify
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry materials that can stay in place. Humidity control supports evaporation from structural materials.
