How Rental Property Flood Cleanup Works in Richwood

1. Remove standing water

   Extraction tools collect pooled water from carpet and hard surfaces. Edges and low points can hold residual water.

2. Map moisture

   The technician checks wall bases, floors, and likely hidden paths. Readings also help define the equipment layout.

3. Remove soaked material

   Carpet pad that cannot be dried safely may need to come out. Removal gives remaining wet layers a path to dry.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew adjusts equipment as the wet area changes. Stubborn damp spots may need different airflow.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Prompt extraction reduces the time water remains inside floors and walls. The crew also checks absorbent layers below the surface.

• Occupants should notify the owner or property manager as soon as water is found.
• If the source is plumbing, shut off the supply valve when it is safe to reach.
• Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
• Move dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
• Photograph visible water and damaged belongings before moving them.
