How Storm Water Removal Works in Watkins

An odor after flooding can signal damp materials out of sight. Moisture mapping identifies where further inspection is needed.

1. Establish safe access

   The first inspection marks the source and depth of the pool. Those observations shape the removal plan.

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

   A written material record helps explain why demolition occurred. The next construction phase waits for dry conditions.

4. Dry and verify

   A wet cavity can lag behind an open floor. Verification checks both instead of relying on appearance.
