How Storm Water Removal Works in Isom

Category 3 water carries contamination into porous finishes. Removing affected material helps expose the remaining structure for cleaning and drying.

1. Establish safe access

   The technician identifies submerged electrical equipment before entering the Isom room. Occupants remain outside the water path.

2. Remove the standing water

   A pump intake needs sufficient depth to work effectively. The crew switches methods as the water level falls.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Flood-soaked wallboard can hold water against framing. Openings allow assessment and treatment of the concealed area.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew monitors wet framing and subfloors over time. Visible dryness alone does not end the job.
