How Flood Cleanup Works in South Orleans
A dry-looking surface can hide a wet backing layer. Moisture checks help the crew locate damp materials before they sit for days. A technician compares readings as equipment runs.

Remove standing water
The technician begins with the rooms holding the most water. Electrical hazards are addressed before wet-room access.
-
Map moisture
The technician checks wall bases, floors, and likely hidden paths. Readings also help define the equipment layout.
-
Remove soaked material
Material removal follows the water path and contamination level. The crew checks whether neighboring material is wet.

Air movers and dehumidifiers dry materials that can stay in place. Humidity control supports evaporation from structural materials.
