How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Lignum

Porous materials need attention after outside flooding. When left wet, they can support mold before two days have passed.

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The assessor marks water levels and affected finishes while documenting Category 3 contact.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Standing stormwater leaves the building through pumping matched to depth and debris.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

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

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Daily moisture logs help confirm that wall and floor layers are moving toward drying goals.
