How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Wilkesboro

The assessor checks subfloor layers before new flooring covers them. Mold may start forming after about one to two days of dampness.

   A walkthrough tracks where outside water reached flooring, walls and lower cavities.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   An extraction team removes pooled floodwater so damp layers can be assessed more accurately.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The crew opens affected wall bases when contaminated materials cannot be restored in place.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Daily moisture logs help confirm that wall and floor layers are moving toward drying goals.
