- Follow local reentry instructions if the neighborhood has flooded.
- Photograph the visible water line and affected belongings from a safe place.
- Keep children and pets away from wet rooms and contaminated items.
- Call (888) 450-9281 so extraction can begin when access is safe.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Approximately 41% of units in the selected ZIP area were built in 2000 or later. Newer materials can also retain stormwater. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Aylett was built in the 1990s. Insulated finished walls hold moisture differently from bare masonry. A drying plan accounts for the specific assembly.
Mixed weather can bring wind-driven rain through damaged openings. The wet interior needs measured drying.

Flash Flood House Cleanup Questions in Aylett
Should anyone enter right after the flash flood?

Debris and silt are removed as part of contaminated flood cleanup.
Can household fans replace flash flood house cleanup?
