What Hurricane Flood Water Cleanup Includes in Claymont
A Claymont crew uses meters during hurricane flood water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
Storm surge, heavy rain, and wind driven water can all enter during a hurricane. Water may cross whole floors, reach upper openings, or remain trapped after surge recedes. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because insulation, wallboard, flooring, contents, and framing hold hidden moisture.
Water beneath a floor does not disappear when a pipe is fixed. Restoration specialists measure its spread and open trapped areas where needed.
