How Storm Water Removal Works in Crabtree

An odor after flooding can signal damp materials out of sight. Moisture mapping identifies where further inspection is needed.

1. Establish safe access

   Floodwater can conceal debris beneath its surface. The crew checks entry and equipment routes before pumping.

2. Remove the standing water

   The contractor follows water into nearby rooms. A dry doorway does not prove the next floor layer stayed dry.

3. Address contaminated materials

   A written material record helps explain why demolition occurred. The next construction phase waits for dry conditions.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Readings shape equipment placement.
