How Flood Cleanup Works in Occidental
Warm, humid conditions can slow evaporation. A controlled drying setup removes moisture from both materials and indoor air. Repeated checks show whether the setup needs adjustment.
-
Remove standing water
Extraction tools collect pooled water from carpet and hard surfaces. Edges and low points can hold residual water.
-
Map moisture
Readings trace water beyond the visible puddle and into adjacent rooms. A nearby dry area can provide a useful comparison.
-
Remove soaked material
Material removal follows the water path and contamination level. The crew checks whether neighboring material is wet.
-
Dry and verify
Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.

Wet flooring can extend beyond the cabinet footprint.
