How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Salix

2. Extract standing floodwater

   An extraction team removes pooled floodwater so damp layers can be assessed more accurately.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

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

   Daily moisture logs help confirm that wall and floor layers are moving toward drying goals.
