What Flooded House After Heavy Rain Cleanup Includes in Dike

The building’s materials determine what stays after Category 3 contact. In Dike, the restoration crew cleans salvageable hard surfaces during flooded house after heavy rain cleanup.

Hours of heavy rain can overwhelm yard drainage and force water through a low doorway or foundation opening. A shallow sheet can cross multiple rooms, soak carpet padding and settle beneath cabinets before the rain stops.

A basement full of runoff needs pumping and moisture assessment. The restoration team does that work; it does not alter municipal storm infrastructure.
