How River Flood Home Cleanup Works in Jermyn

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The technician checks electrical exposure and safe entry before anyone pumps the Jermyn property.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Pumps remove deeper water; extraction tools pull smaller remaining pools from reachable areas.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The crew opens affected wall bases when contaminated materials cannot be restored in place.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Daily moisture logs help confirm that wall and floor layers are moving toward drying goals.
