Floodwater removal and source work can proceed as separate jobs. The crew documents damaged materials in Greenwood; the appropriate trade corrects the entry defect.

How River Flood Home Cleanup Works in Greenwood

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A crew identifies the floodwater path, sediment and wet rooms to shape the first work plan.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Standing stormwater leaves the building through pumping matched to depth and debris.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The contractor explains each proposed removal with photographs and material findings.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

The crew records moisture in remaining wall framing. An untreated wet surface can support mold growth within a 24 to 48 hour period.

• Follow local reentry directions and avoid flood-covered roads.
• Stay out of rooms with damaged wiring or visible structural movement.
• Do not restart wet appliances or electrical equipment.
• Record the high-water mark and visible silt from a safe position.
• Call 24/7 with the water depth and duration of flooding.
