Should anyone enter right after the flash flood?
Stay out until local authorities permit reentry and electrical hazards have been assessed. Floodwater can carry sewage and chemicals. Call 24/7 after the building is safe to approach.
Can mud be left to dry before cleanup?
Dried sediment becomes harder to remove and can remain inside joints. A crew extracts the water, removes sediment and cleans exposed surfaces. Early action also limits moisture migration.
