How Storm Water Removal Works in Embudo

Category 3 water carries contamination into porous finishes. Removing affected material helps expose the remaining structure for cleaning and drying.

1. Establish safe access

   The technician identifies submerged electrical equipment before entering the Embudo room. Occupants remain outside the water path.

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

   Wet carpet and padding may trap contaminated silt. Removal exposes the floor beneath for cleaning.

4. Dry and verify

   The contractor documents the drying endpoint before rebuilding begins. The insurer can review the mitigation record.
