How Flash Flood House Cleanup Works in Alma

1. Establish safe access

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

2. Remove the standing water

   Runoff carrying silt can leave deposits after the pool drains. Workers remove debris as part of the cleanup.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Outside floodwater is Category 3. The crew identifies porous finishes that cannot be cleaned for safe reuse.

4. Dry and verify

   A wet cavity can lag behind an open floor. Verification checks both instead of relying on appearance.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Runoff entering twice can undo progress from the first drying cycle. Source control and water removal need to stay coordinated.

• 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.
