River water may remain in a house long enough to penetrate wood, masonry and insulation. When the level falls, silt can coat floors and settle behind cabinets, leaving more work than a short puddle suggests.

If water rises from a street drain, the restoration contractor treats the affected room as Category 3. Public drainage repairs belong to the responsible utility or drainage trade.

How River Flood Home Cleanup Works in West Hartford

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A walkthrough tracks where outside water reached flooring, walls and lower cavities.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The crew works from safe access toward wet rooms, taking bulk water out before drying.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The contractor explains each proposed removal with photographs and material findings.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

The assessor checks subfloor layers before new flooring covers them. Mold may start forming after about one to two days of dampness.

• Follow local reentry directions and avoid flood-covered roads.
• Stay out of rooms with damaged wiring or visible structural movement.
• Do not restart wet appliances or electrical equipment.
• Record the high-water mark and visible silt from a safe position.
• Call 24/7 with the water depth and duration of flooding.
