How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Las Animas

   The technician checks electrical exposure and safe entry before anyone pumps the Las Animas property.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Pumps remove deeper water; extraction tools pull smaller remaining pools from reachable areas.

   Sediment trapped under a finish may require access before the structure can dry.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Dehumidifiers and directed airflow dry remaining materials while meter readings show progress.
