How Storm Water Removal Works in Cattaraugus

Fast pumping is only the first step after a flood. Cleaning, dehumidification and measurements complete the mitigation sequence.

1. Establish safe access

   The technician identifies submerged electrical equipment before entering the Cattaraugus 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

   Outside floodwater is Category 3. The crew identifies porous finishes that cannot be cleaned for safe reuse.

4. Dry and verify

   A wet cavity can lag behind an open floor. Verification checks both instead of relying on appearance.
