How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Sequatchie

The assessor checks subfloor layers before new flooring covers them. Mold may start forming after about one to two days of dampness.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Pumps remove deeper water; extraction tools pull smaller remaining pools from reachable areas.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Sediment trapped under a finish may require access before the structure can dry.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   The crew adjusts equipment when humidity stays high or a cavity reading stops improving.
