How Flood Cleanup Works in Sandia
Standing water is the visible part of a flood loss. The crew also checks hidden materials that could remain moist after pumping. Pumping alone does not dry a wall cavity.
-
Remove standing water
Basement water is pumped out before detailed material checks. Deep pooling may hide wet contents below the surface.
-
Map moisture
A damp ceiling may reveal water from a room above. Lower ceilings may carry water from upstairs.
-
Remove soaked material
Material removal follows the water path and contamination level. The crew checks whether neighboring material is wet.
-
Dry and verify
Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.
