How Category 3 Black Water Flood Water Removal Works in Fort Duchesne

1. Pump or extract liquid water

   After checking electrical safety, technicians remove pooled water from the affected Fort Duchesne rooms. Smaller pockets are extracted once the main level falls.

2. Find moisture beyond the puddle

   A wet cabinet toe kick can hide water against the wall. The technician tests the cavity rather than relying on surface appearance.

3. Remove materials that hold unsafe water

   A clean water loss may allow some finishes to dry in place. The choice depends on the material, duration and measured saturation.

4. Dry the structure and confirm progress

   Equipment remains while subfloors or framing still test wet. The crew removes it after measurements support completion.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Storm water often reaches dirtier surfaces than fresh supply water. Mold may begin growing on damp materials after 24 to 48 hours after saturation. Contaminated porous materials may need removal before drying proceeds.

• Stay out of the flooded space and do not run fans across contaminated material.
• Keep children and pets outside the wet area.
• Photograph the source and affected materials if safe.
• Move loose belongings away from spreading water.
• Call (888) 949-8496 for 24/7 flood water removal.
