How Flood Cleanup Works in Prospect
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
Subfloor seams and cabinet bases receive close moisture checks. Kitchen and bath finishes can conceal wet backing.
-
Remove soaked material
The crew opens wet wall areas when access is needed for drying. A technician records the material taken out.
-
Dry and verify
A technician records progress before equipment is removed. Rebuild planning follows the final dry-out check.
