How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Massena

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The technician checks electrical exposure and safe entry before anyone pumps the Massena property.

2. Extract standing floodwater

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

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Workers clean salvageable hard surfaces after gross debris and damaged porous layers are gone.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Dehumidifiers and directed airflow dry remaining materials while meter readings show progress.
