How Flash Flood & Storm Water Extraction Works in Altadena

1. Recover accessible water

   A pump crew removes pooled water where conditions permit safe equipment use. Technicians investigate surrounding rooms beyond the location of the deepest puddle.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A technician uses thermal patterns to select areas for closer testing. Moisture measurements check the suspected wetness because temperature alone cannot confirm water.

3. Expose layers that retain water

   A crew supervisor considers finish removal where trapped water cannot dry adequately. The scope explains the reason for opening each affected assembly.

4. Control drying and check progress

   The site supervisor checks equipment performance and the remaining wet footprint. Closing measurements support the transition from mitigation to repair planning.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

New paint can hide discoloration without removing retained moisture. Building recovery crews establish drying progress through measurements before finish repairs begin.

• Residents follow evacuation instructions and remain outside restricted buildings.
• Drivers avoid flooded roads while trying to reach the property.
• Occupants avoid flooded electrical equipment and keep clear of fallen utility wires.
• Owners take damage photographs only after officials permit return and they can stand somewhere safe.
• The building contact reports displaced chemical containers, wall movement or other signs of instability.

• The policyholder saves the insurer's written coverage explanation.
