How Flood Cleanup Works in Clarksdale

A crew clears accessible standing water and watches for continued inflow. Continued inflow needs source control before drying.

-
Remove soaked material
Damaged drywall sections can be taken out to expose wet framing. The opening is documented for later rebuilding.
-
Dry and verify
The crew adjusts equipment as the wet area changes. Stubborn damp spots may need different airflow.
