How Storm Water Removal Works in Chilmark

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Extraction reduces liquid contact, and the crew measures what remains in walls and floors.

1. Establish safe access

   The first inspection marks the source and depth of the pool. Those observations shape the removal plan.

2. Remove the standing water

   Runoff carrying silt can leave deposits after the pool drains. Workers remove debris as part of the cleanup.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Flood-soaked wallboard can hold water against framing. Openings allow assessment and treatment of the concealed area.

4. Dry and verify

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