How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Harford

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A walkthrough tracks where outside water reached flooring, walls and lower cavities.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The crew works from safe access toward wet rooms, taking bulk water out before drying.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The contractor explains each proposed removal with photographs and material findings.

4. Dry and verify the structure

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