What 24 Hour Flood Cleanup Includes in Galena
Every 24 hour flood cleanup loss has its own water path. In Galena, the crew maps moisture and removes water from affected surfaces. The actual water source determines the first cleanup steps.
An overnight leak, weekend flood or holiday water loss can keep spreading until extraction begins. Water can move into floors, wall bases, contents and concealed cavities. Jobs involving 24 hour water extraction, overnight water extraction and weekend water removal need a check beyond the visible puddle.
Water can keep soaking materials after the pipe is shut off. Extraction and dehumidification address the remaining damage inside the building. A wet wall cavity may need access for airflow.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Standing water is the visible part of a flood loss. The crew also checks hidden materials that could remain moist after pumping. Pumping alone does not dry a wall cavity.
- Keep people out of wet electrical areas while the source is being stopped.
- If the source is plumbing, shut off the supply valve when it is safe to reach.
- Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
- Move dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
- Photograph visible water and damaged belongings before moving them.
