How Storm Water Removal Works in Lafayette

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Extraction reduces liquid contact, and the crew measures what remains in walls and floors.

1. Establish safe access

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

2. Remove the standing water

   The contractor follows water into nearby rooms. A dry doorway does not prove the next floor layer stayed dry.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Flood-soaked wallboard can hold water against framing. Openings allow assessment and treatment of the concealed area.

4. Dry and verify

   Moisture mapping shows whether adjoining rooms still hold water. Technicians update the drying plan accordingly.
