How Storm Water Removal Works in Olds

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

1. Establish safe access

   Category 3 runoff calls for protective handling. Technicians evaluate contamination before disturbing wet finishes.

2. Remove the standing water

   Deep pools are lowered with pumping equipment. Extraction tools then address remaining liquid near floor edges.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Affected insulation may be discarded so the cavity can dry. The contractor records what was removed.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Readings shape equipment placement.
