How Flood Cleanup Works in Cascade Locks
Standing water is the visible part of a flood loss. The crew also checks hidden materials that could remain moist after pumping. Pumping alone does not dry a wall cavity.
-
Remove standing water
After safety hazards are addressed, extraction reduces water sitting indoors. The remaining wet layers are assessed afterward.
-
Map moisture
Moisture mapping identifies materials that still need a drying plan. Concealed saturation changes the scope of work.
-
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.
