How Storm Water Removal Works in Dunkirk

-
Establish safe access
The first inspection marks the source and depth of the pool. Those observations shape the removal plan.
-
Remove the standing water
A pump intake needs sufficient depth to work effectively. The crew switches methods as the water level falls.

Address contaminated materials
Cleaning follows removal of saturated debris. Technicians treat exposed surfaces appropriate to the contamination.
-
Dry and verify
Moisture mapping shows whether adjoining rooms still hold water. Technicians update the drying plan accordingly.
