How Flooded Basement Flood Cleanup Works in Cotulla

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

3. Remove soaked material

   Contaminated porous materials are separated from salvageable finishes. The loss source informs contamination handling.

4. Dry and verify

   Final checks document the remaining structure after extraction. Records can explain the work to an insurer.
