What Hurricane Flood Cleanup Includes in Stella
When hurricane flood cleanup affects several rooms, extraction starts with the pooled water. Drying equipment then addresses remaining moisture. Affected materials are assessed before a drying plan is set.
With hurricane, wind-driven water and surge can reach several levels and trap moisture inside assemblies. Moisture may remain in drywall, insulation, flooring and contents.
Water can keep soaking materials after the pipe is shut off. Extraction and dehumidification address the remaining damage inside the building. A wet wall cavity may need access for airflow.

How Hurricane Flood Cleanup Works in Stella

Remove standing water
