How Storm Water Removal Works in Wathena

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 Wathena room. Occupants remain outside the water path.

2. Remove the standing water

   Surface extraction helps limit further absorption. The team checks seams and coverings that retained water.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Wet carpet and padding may trap contaminated silt. Removal exposes the floor beneath for cleaning.

4. Dry and verify

   Moisture mapping shows whether adjoining rooms still hold water. Technicians update the drying plan accordingly.
