How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Melrose

Porous materials need attention after outside flooding. When left wet, they can support mold before two days have passed.

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Workers clear water and sediment from accessible surfaces before the detailed moisture map.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The contractor explains each proposed removal with photographs and material findings.

4. Dry and verify the structure

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