How Flooded House After Heavy Rain Cleanup Works in Crested Butte

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A crew identifies the floodwater path, sediment and wet rooms to shape the first work plan.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Workers clear water and sediment from accessible surfaces before the detailed moisture map.

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

   The crew adjusts equipment when humidity stays high or a cavity reading stops improving.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Wait for the rainwater to stop rising before entering affected rooms.
• Avoid touching outlets or cords near wet floors.
• Keep children and pets away from muddy water.
• Photograph the entry path and affected rooms from a safe place.
