How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Shonto

After pumping, trapped water can persist behind wall trim. That dampness gives mold a chance to develop in roughly 24 to 48 hours.

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The contractor photographs conditions and chooses protective measures for the contaminated area.

2. Extract standing floodwater

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

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Category 3 contact often requires removal of porous carpet, pad and insulation.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   The technician records drying conditions and provides the owner with a factual job file.
