How Storm Water Removal Works in Columbia

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Extraction reduces liquid contact, and the crew measures what remains in walls and floors.

1. Establish safe access

   Rising water changes conditions during a job. The crew verifies that the site is stable enough for work.

2. Remove the standing water

   A pump intake needs sufficient depth to work effectively. The crew switches methods as the water level falls.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Outside floodwater is Category 3. The crew identifies porous finishes that cannot be cleaned for safe reuse.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment may move as materials release water at different rates. Final measurements support the dry-out record.
