Heavy floods
are devastating calamities and they can cause so much damage to entire
communities. Water damage can ruin furniture and appliances, and electronics
will surely break upon exposure to the liquid. To make matters worse,
floodwater usually isn't just composed entirely of water; all sorts of debris,
such as mud, sludge, and garbage are normally taken along, and having your skin
exposed to that can be a health hazard on its own.
Waiting for
floodwater to dry out can take too long and can aggravate the damage in a
house. By the time it recedes, it may be too late for homeowners to salvage
anything useful. It only takes several days for moisture from dirty water to
encourage mold growth on the walls.
This is why
communities should have a vactor truck handy to relieve residences in case of
such occurrences. These vehicles have massive vacuum machines strapped in them,
which can be used to suck out the sludge brought about by floods. After
absorbing the liquid, the trucks can then be driven off to another location
where the waste can be disposed of. Vactor trucks are built to be tough, and
can handle even small solid debris. Users, however, should still be careful
about operating one despite its durability.
