What Hurricane Flood Cleanup Includes in Bascom
Every hurricane flood cleanup loss has its own water path. In Bascom, the crew maps moisture and removes water from affected surfaces. The actual water source determines the first cleanup steps.
With hurricane, wind-driven water and surge can reach several levels and trap moisture inside assemblies. Moisture may remain in drywall, insulation, flooring and contents.
A plumber may find the broken supply component, but the leak can spread across several rooms. Moisture readings reveal the cleanup boundary. Adjacent finishes are checked for swelling and trapped water.

How Hurricane Flood Cleanup Works in Bascom
-
Remove standing water
The technician begins with the rooms holding the most water. Electrical hazards are addressed before wet-room access.
-
Map moisture
Subfloor seams and cabinet bases receive close moisture checks. Kitchen and bath finishes can conceal wet backing.
-
Remove soaked material
Soaked insulation is removed where it blocks proper drying. Exposed studs can then receive air movement.
-
Dry and verify
The crew adjusts equipment as the wet area changes. Stubborn damp spots may need different airflow.

- Follow evacuation instructions and wait for safe entry.
- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
- Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
