How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Guilderland

Wet framing in a Guilderland home needs prompt measurement. Mold may begin growing on damp material in 24 to 48 hours.

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

   Sediment trapped under a finish may require access before the structure can dry.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Dehumidifiers and directed airflow dry remaining materials while meter readings show progress.
