How Flash Flood House Cleanup Works in Cotulla

1. Establish safe access

   Rising water changes conditions during a job. The crew verifies that the site is stable enough for work.

2. Remove the standing water

   A pump intake needs sufficient depth to work effectively. The crew switches methods as the water level falls.

3. Address contaminated materials

   A written material record helps explain why demolition occurred. The next construction phase waits for dry conditions.

4. Dry and verify

   Moisture mapping shows whether adjoining rooms still hold water. Technicians update the drying plan accordingly.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A basement with little airflow may stay damp long after pumping. Dehumidification and readings show whether the dry-out is progressing.

• Stay out of standing water near outlets, wiring or appliances.
• Follow local reentry instructions if the neighborhood has flooded.
• Photograph the visible water line and affected belongings from a safe place.
• Keep children and pets away from wet rooms and contaminated items.
• Call (888) 450-9281 so extraction can begin when access is safe.
