How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Pahoa

Porous materials need attention after outside flooding. When left wet, they can support mold before two days have passed.

   The contractor photographs conditions and chooses protective measures for the contaminated area.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Workers clear water and sediment from accessible surfaces before the detailed moisture map.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Sediment trapped under a finish may require access before the structure can dry.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Dehumidifiers and directed airflow dry remaining materials while meter readings show progress.
