How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Clifton

   Pumps remove deeper water; extraction tools pull smaller remaining pools from reachable areas.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Category 3 contact often requires removal of porous carpet, pad and insulation.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   The specialist compares wet framing with dry reference points before ending equipment use.
