How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Prospect

The assessor checks subfloor layers before new flooring covers them. Mold may start forming after about one to two days of dampness.

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

   An extraction team removes pooled floodwater so damp layers can be assessed more accurately.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

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

4. Dry and verify the structure

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