How Insurance Claim Flood Water Removal Works in Accokeek

1. Pump or extract liquid water

   Dirty water requires protective handling during extraction. The team keeps contaminated material separate from dry areas while liquid is removed.

2. Find moisture beyond the puddle

   The moisture map includes unaffected comparison areas. That helps the crew judge drying progress on materials of the same kind.

3. Remove materials that hold unsafe water

   Outside flood water can contaminate materials throughout its path. Technicians assess what can be cleaned and what must be discarded.

4. Dry the structure and confirm progress

   Final moisture checks help separate drying from later rebuild. New finishes are addressed only after the structure is ready.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Standing water is only part of the concern. A wet surface may begin to grow mold within 24 to 48 hours where moisture remains in porous material. A crew identifies what can dry and what must be removed.

• Stop the water source if safe.
• Keep children and pets outside the wet area.
• Photograph the source and affected materials if safe.
• Move loose belongings away from spreading water.
• Call (888) 949-8496 for 24/7 flood water removal.
