How Storm Water Removal Works in Crystal Lake

An odor after flooding can signal damp materials out of sight. Moisture mapping identifies where further inspection is needed.

1. Establish safe access

   Category 3 runoff calls for protective handling. Technicians evaluate contamination before disturbing wet finishes.

2. Remove the standing water

   Runoff carrying silt can leave deposits after the pool drains. Workers remove debris as part of the cleanup.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Wet carpet and padding may trap contaminated silt. Removal exposes the floor beneath for cleaning.

4. Dry and verify

   A wet cavity can lag behind an open floor. Verification checks both instead of relying on appearance.
