How Storm Water Removal Works in Blackstone

A clean-looking surface can hide damp backing after runoff. Technicians check the assembly before they decide how to dry it.

1. Establish safe access

   Category 3 runoff calls for protective handling. Technicians evaluate contamination before disturbing wet finishes.

2. Remove the standing water

   Surface extraction helps limit further absorption. The team checks seams and coverings that retained water.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Wet carpet and padding may trap contaminated silt. Removal exposes the floor beneath for cleaning.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew monitors wet framing and subfloors over time. Visible dryness alone does not end the job.
