How Flooded House After Heavy Rain Works in Truchas
-
Establish safe access
Floodwater can conceal debris beneath its surface. The crew checks entry and equipment routes before pumping.
-
Remove the standing water
A pump intake needs sufficient depth to work effectively. The crew switches methods as the water level falls.

Address contaminated materials
Flood-soaked wallboard can hold water against framing. Openings allow assessment and treatment of the concealed area.
-
Dry and verify
The crew monitors wet framing and subfloors over time. Visible dryness alone does not end the job.
