What Storm and Flash Flood Water Cleanup Includes in Mekinock
A Mekinock crew uses meters during storm and flash flood water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
Intense rain or rising streams can force outside water into a building. Floodwater carries soil across floors and into wall cavities as the level climbs. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because flooring, insulation, drywall, furniture, and stored goods hold hidden moisture.
A blocked drain may need a plumbing contractor. Sewage cleanup also needs protective handling, removal of contaminated porous materials and surface cleaning.
