What Hurricane Flood Water Cleanup Includes in Clackamas
Water category matters during hurricane flood water cleanup in Clackamas. Clean supply water, gray appliance discharge and sewage affect cleaning and material decisions.
Storm surge, heavy rain, and wind driven water can all enter during a hurricane. Water may cross whole floors, reach upper openings, or remain trapped after surge recedes. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because insulation, wallboard, flooring, contents, and framing hold hidden moisture.
A blocked drain may need a plumbing contractor. Sewage cleanup also needs protective handling, removal of contaminated porous materials and surface cleaning.
