How Storm Water Removal Works in Vanderbilt

Category 3 water carries contamination into porous finishes. Removing affected material helps expose the remaining structure for cleaning and drying.

1. Establish safe access

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

2. Remove the standing water

   Surface extraction helps limit further absorption. The team checks seams and coverings that retained water.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Cleaning follows removal of saturated debris. Technicians treat exposed surfaces appropriate to the contamination.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment may move as materials release water at different rates. Final measurements support the dry-out record.
