How Flash Flood House Cleanup Works in Gettysburg

1. Establish safe access

2. Remove the standing water

3. Address contaminated materials

   A written material record helps explain why demolition occurred. The next construction phase waits for dry conditions.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Readings shape equipment placement.
