What Storm and Flash Flood Cleanup Includes in Calion
Every storm and flash flood cleanup loss has its own water path. In Calion, the crew maps moisture and removes water from affected surfaces. The actual water source determines the first cleanup steps.
With storm, outside water crosses thresholds, openings or lower walls and carries debris indoors. Moisture may remain in basement finishes, insulation, furniture and subfloor.
If an appliance hose bursts, the appliance trade handles its equipment. A local water crew removes pooled water and checks concealed layers. Nearby cabinetry can conceal a larger wet area.

How Storm and Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Calion
