How 24 Hour Flood Cleanup Works in Chromo

1. Remove standing water

   A crew clears accessible standing water and watches for continued inflow. Continued inflow needs source control before drying.

2. Map moisture

   Moisture mapping identifies materials that still need a drying plan. Concealed saturation changes the scope of work.

3. Remove soaked material

   Soaked insulation is removed where it blocks proper drying. Exposed studs can then receive air movement.

4. Dry and verify

   Further readings show whether the drying setup is working. A stable downward trend shows drying progress.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Standing water is the visible part of a flood loss. The crew also checks hidden materials that could remain moist after pumping. Pumping alone does not dry a wall cavity.

• Keep people out of wet electrical areas while the source is being stopped.
• If the source is plumbing, shut off the supply valve when it is safe to reach.
• Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
• Move dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
• Photograph visible water and damaged belongings before moving them.
