What Hurricane Flood Water Cleanup Includes in Metlakatla
During hurricane flood water cleanup around Metlakatla, the team photographs damage and logs readings. Those records show what the crew removed and how materials dried.
Storm surge, heavy rain, and wind driven water can all enter during a hurricane. Water may cross whole floors, reach upper openings, or remain trapped after surge recedes. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because insulation, wallboard, flooring, contents, and framing hold hidden moisture.
A plumber stops a broken supply pipe. After the valve closes, a water cleanup crew extracts the water that escaped and checks the walls and floors it reached.
