- 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.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Approximately 39% of units in the selected ZIP area were built in 2000 or later. Newer materials can also retain stormwater. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Waunakee was built in the 1990s. Carpeted basements common in later construction can retain contaminated silt. Padding beneath needs evaluation.
Cold weather does not remove contamination from outside runoff. Protective cleanup still applies.

Flash Flood House Cleanup Questions in Waunakee
Should anyone enter right after the flash flood?
Stay out until local authorities permit reentry and electrical hazards have been assessed. Floodwater can carry sewage and chemicals. Call 24/7 after the building is safe to approach.
Can mud be left to dry before cleanup?
Dried sediment becomes harder to remove and can remain inside joints. A crew extracts the water, removes sediment and cleans exposed surfaces. Early action also limits moisture migration.
Can flash flood house cleanup begin while rain continues?
The contractor checks whether safe extraction is possible and whether new water is entering.
Can flash flood house cleanup dry a subfloor?
The crew measures hidden moisture and uses drying equipment when the assembly can be dried.
When does drying end for flash flood house cleanup?
