How Storm Water Removal Works in Kalama

Fast pumping is only the first step after a flood. Cleaning, dehumidification and measurements complete the mitigation sequence.

1. Establish safe access

   Floodwater can conceal debris beneath its surface. The crew checks entry and equipment routes before pumping.

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

   Cleaning follows removal of saturated debris. Technicians treat exposed surfaces appropriate to the contamination.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment may move as materials release water at different rates. Final measurements support the dry-out record.
