How Flooded House After Heavy Rain Cleanup Works in Story

1. Assess hazards and water depth

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The contractor explains each proposed removal with photographs and material findings.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   The specialist compares wet framing with dry reference points before ending equipment use.

• Keep children and pets away from muddy water.
• Photograph the entry path and affected rooms from a safe place.
