What Hurricane Flood Cleanup Includes in Ama
When hurricane flood cleanup affects several rooms, extraction starts with the pooled water. Drying equipment then addresses remaining moisture. Affected materials are assessed before a drying plan is set.
With hurricane, wind-driven water and surge can reach several levels and trap moisture inside assemblies. Moisture may remain in drywall, insulation, flooring and contents.
A plumber stops a leaking pipe and fixes the plumbing. The flood cleanup crew extracts water from rooms it reached and dries the structure. Drying readings then show how far that water reached.
