What Storm and Flash Flood Water Cleanup Includes in Louisiana
A Louisiana crew uses meters during storm and flash flood water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
Intense rain or rising streams can force outside water into a building. Floodwater carries soil across floors and into wall cavities as the level climbs. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because flooring, insulation, drywall, furniture, and stored goods hold hidden moisture.
A plumber stops a broken supply pipe. After the valve closes, a water cleanup crew extracts the water that escaped and checks the walls and floors it reached.

- Move valuables away if safe.
- Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
- Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.
