What Hurricane Flood Cleanup Includes in Hondo

How Hurricane Flood Cleanup Works in Hondo

1. Remove standing water

   Pumps draw down deep water so the crew can reach floors and lower walls. The crew checks whether water is still entering.

2. Map moisture

   A damp ceiling may reveal water from a room above. Lower ceilings may carry water from upstairs.

3. Remove soaked material

   Contaminated porous materials are separated from salvageable finishes. The loss source informs contamination handling.

4. Dry and verify

   Final checks document the remaining structure after extraction. Records can explain the work to an insurer.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Floodwater can wick into wallboard above the water mark. Early assessment shows where wet material must be opened or removed. Access openings can expose the actual wet edge.

• Follow evacuation instructions and wait for safe entry.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
• Call Flood Cleanup Response Team at (888) 471-9821, 24/7, and describe the hurricane water.
