First priorities
- Address safety hazards and active water intrusion before remediation work begins.
- Remove standing water where appropriate, begin drying, and identify materials that cannot be effectively restored.
Why porous materials matter
- EPA guidance notes that porous or absorbent materials can be difficult or impossible to clean completely once moldy and may need to be discarded depending on the situation.
Watch concealed spaces
- Behind walls, ceilings, attics, and other hidden areas can remain damp after a flood.
