How Storm Water Removal Works in Altoona

2. Remove the standing water

   When inflow continues, the crew accounts for new water while planning safe removal.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Flood-soaked wallboard can hold water against framing. Openings allow assessment and treatment of the concealed area.

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