How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Bernie

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The contractor photographs conditions and chooses protective measures for the contaminated area.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The contractor records the water removed and checks whether entry continues during the job.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Workers clean salvageable hard surfaces after gross debris and damaged porous layers are gone.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.
