What Hurricane Flood Cleanup Includes in Ithaca
Every hurricane flood cleanup loss has its own water path. In Ithaca, the crew maps moisture and removes water from affected surfaces. The actual water source determines the first cleanup steps.
With hurricane, wind-driven water and surge can reach several levels and trap moisture inside assemblies. Moisture may remain in drywall, insulation, flooring and contents.
A plumber may find the broken supply component, but the leak can spread across several rooms. Moisture readings reveal the cleanup boundary. Adjacent finishes are checked for swelling and trapped water.

How Hurricane Flood Cleanup Works in Ithaca
-
Remove standing water

-
Map moisture
Readings trace water beyond the visible puddle and into adjacent rooms. A nearby dry area can provide a useful comparison.
-
Remove soaked material
The crew opens wet wall areas when access is needed for drying. A technician records the material taken out.
-
Dry and verify
Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.
