How Flash Flood House Cleanup Works in Dolomite

1. Establish safe access

   The technician identifies submerged electrical equipment before entering the Dolomite room. Occupants remain outside the water path.

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

   Cleaning follows removal of saturated debris. Technicians treat exposed surfaces appropriate to the contamination.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew monitors wet framing and subfloors over time. Visible dryness alone does not end the job.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water beneath a floating floor has limited evaporation paths. Opening the assembly may be necessary to address trapped moisture.

• 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.
