How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Blythe

A flooded basement often retains humidity after standing water leaves. Mold may appear on wet materials as early as 24 to 48 hours.

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The assessor marks water levels and affected finishes while documenting Category 3 contact.

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 crew adjusts equipment when humidity stays high or a cavity reading stops improving.
