How Flash Flood & Storm Water Extraction Works in Winterhaven

1. Recover accessible water

   The extraction operator matches recovery tools to liquid depth and surface construction. Electrical and contamination hazards shape the initial work area.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A moisture investigator marks affected surfaces on a room sketch. Instrument readings help distinguish the wet footprint from unrelated discoloration.

3. Expose layers that retain water

   The mitigation contractor evaluates wet wallboard and insulation before proposing access openings. Material condition and contamination determine how much removal makes sense.

4. Control drying and check progress

   The contractor records progress at comparable test locations throughout treatment. The final assessment identifies any area that still needs attention.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A winter roof leak can saturate insulation outside the stained ceiling area. The inspection crew traces that spread before selecting materials for removal or drying.

• Residents follow evacuation instructions and remain outside restricted buildings.
