What Storm and Flash Flood Cleanup Includes in Strathmore
When storm and flash flood cleanup affects several rooms, extraction starts with the pooled water. Drying equipment then addresses remaining moisture. Affected materials are assessed before a drying plan is set.
With storm, outside water crosses thresholds, openings or lower walls and carries debris indoors. Moisture may remain in basement finishes, insulation, furniture and subfloor.
If an appliance hose bursts, the appliance trade handles its equipment. A local water crew removes pooled water and checks concealed layers. Nearby cabinetry can conceal a larger wet area.
