What Hurricane Flood Cleanup Includes in Glencoe
The source and contamination level determine what can be saved. A local crew in Glencoe assesses wet materials before the dry-out. Contaminated water may require extra material removal and sanitation.
With hurricane, wind-driven water and surge can reach several levels and trap moisture inside assemblies. Moisture may remain in drywall, insulation, flooring and contents.
Stopping the source prevents more water from entering. The cleanup crew still needs to check how far the earlier flow traveled. Lower rooms may reveal a path from the original leak.
