How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Tulelake

Porous materials need attention after outside flooding. When left wet, they can support mold before two days have passed.

   The contractor photographs conditions and chooses protective measures for the contaminated area.

2. Extract standing floodwater

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

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The team separates salvageable hard materials from porous items that hold contamination.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.
