How Storm Water Removal Works in Blockton

Wet wall insulation slows drying inside a cavity. The technician assesses removal so framing can be cleaned and monitored.

1. Establish safe access

   Category 3 runoff calls for protective handling. Technicians evaluate contamination before disturbing wet finishes.

2. Remove the standing water

   Surface extraction helps limit further absorption. The team checks seams and coverings that retained water.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Cleaning follows removal of saturated debris. Technicians treat exposed surfaces appropriate to the contamination.

4. Dry and verify

   The contractor documents the drying endpoint before rebuilding begins. The insurer can review the mitigation record.
