How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Jim Thorpe

Drying equipment controls moisture after the Category 3 cleanup. Mold can grow in 24 to 48 hours if building materials stay wet.

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

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

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.
