Dry and verify
The contractor documents the drying endpoint before rebuilding begins. The insurer can review the mitigation record.

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?

Fans do not remove contaminated materials or prove the structure is dry.
