What Hurricane Flood Water Cleanup Includes in Columbus
A Columbus crew uses meters during hurricane flood water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
Storm surge, heavy rain, and wind driven water can all enter during a hurricane. Water may cross whole floors, reach upper openings, or remain trapped after surge recedes. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because insulation, wallboard, flooring, contents, and framing hold hidden moisture.
Outside storm water requires a different source solution from indoor plumbing. Once entry stops, mitigation workers remove standing water and inspect absorbent materials.
