How Black Water Category 3 Flood Cleanup Works in Denton

1. Remove standing water

   Extraction tools collect pooled water from carpet and hard surfaces. Edges and low points can hold residual water.

2. Map moisture

   The crew measures porous materials before deciding what can remain. The water category affects material decisions.

3. Remove soaked material

   Soaked insulation is removed where it blocks proper drying. Exposed studs can then receive air movement.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew adjusts equipment as the wet area changes. Stubborn damp spots may need different airflow.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Standing water is the visible part of a flood loss. The crew also checks hidden materials that could remain moist after pumping. Pumping alone does not dry a wall cavity.

• Avoid direct contact and keep children and pets away from the affected area.
• If the source is plumbing, shut off the supply valve when it is safe to reach.
• Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
• Move dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
• Photograph visible water and damaged belongings before moving them.
