Flash Flood House Cleanup Questions in Santo
Should anyone enter right after the flash flood?
Stay out until local authorities permit reentry and electrical hazards have been assessed. Floodwater can carry sewage and chemicals. Call 24/7 after the building is safe to approach.
Can mud be left to dry before cleanup?
Dried sediment becomes harder to remove and can remain inside joints. A crew extracts the water, removes sediment and cleans exposed surfaces. Early action also limits moisture migration.
