How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Stephens

The assessor checks subfloor layers before new flooring covers them. Mold may start forming after about one to two days of dampness.

2. Extract standing floodwater

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

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Workers clean salvageable hard surfaces after gross debris and damaged porous layers are gone.

4. Dry and verify the structure

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