How Flash Flood House Cleanup Works in Almena
-
Establish safe access
Floodwater can conceal debris beneath its surface. The crew checks entry and equipment routes before pumping.

A pump intake needs sufficient depth to work effectively. The crew switches methods as the water level falls.

A written material record helps explain why demolition occurred. The next construction phase waits for dry conditions.
-
Dry and verify
Equipment may move as materials release water at different rates. Final measurements support the dry-out record.
