How Hurricane Flood Cleanup Works in Bates City

1. Remove standing water

   The technician begins with the rooms holding the most water. Electrical hazards are addressed before wet-room access.

2. Map moisture

   The technician checks wall bases, floors, and likely hidden paths. Readings also help define the equipment layout.

3. Remove soaked material

   Material removal follows the water path and contamination level. The crew checks whether neighboring material is wet.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Carpet pad and insulation can hold moisture after a room looks normal. Drying equipment and readings address that concealed water. Carpet that feels dry can still hide wet padding.

• Follow evacuation instructions and wait for safe entry.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
• Call Flood Cleanup Response Team at (888) 471-9821, 24/7, and describe the hurricane water.
