How Storm Water Removal Works in Alto

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

1. Establish safe access

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

2. Remove the standing water

   The contractor follows water into nearby rooms. A dry doorway does not prove the next floor layer stayed dry.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Affected insulation may be discarded so the cavity can dry. The contractor records what was removed.

4. Dry and verify

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