How River Flood Home Cleanup Works in Boulder
-
Establish safe access
The first inspection marks the source and depth of the pool. Those observations shape the removal plan.
-
Remove the standing water
Surface extraction helps limit further absorption. The team checks seams and coverings that retained water.
-
Address contaminated materials
Outside floodwater is Category 3. The crew identifies porous finishes that cannot be cleaned for safe reuse.
-
Dry and verify
The crew monitors wet framing and subfloors over time. Visible dryness alone does not end the job.

- Follow local reentry instructions if the neighborhood has flooded.
- Photograph the visible water line and affected belongings from a safe place.
- Keep children and pets away from wet rooms and contaminated items.
