How River Flood Home Cleanup Works in Mapleton

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A walkthrough tracks where outside water reached flooring, walls and lower cavities.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   An extraction team removes pooled floodwater so damp layers can be assessed more accurately.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Sediment trapped under a finish may require access before the structure can dry.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   The technician records drying conditions and provides the owner with a factual job file.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

The crew records moisture in remaining wall framing. An untreated wet surface can support mold growth within a 24 to 48 hour period.

• Follow local reentry directions and avoid flood-covered roads.
• Stay out of rooms with damaged wiring or visible structural movement.
• Do not restart wet appliances or electrical equipment.
• Record the high-water mark and visible silt from a safe position.
• Call 24/7 with the water depth and duration of flooding.
