How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Lakehead

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Workers clear water and sediment from accessible surfaces before the detailed moisture map.

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

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Dehumidifiers and directed airflow dry remaining materials while meter readings show progress.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
