What Flooded House After Heavy Rain Cleanup Includes in Goodells

The crew checks entry conditions and water depth for flooded house after heavy rain cleanup. At a Goodells home, contaminated porous materials may need removal before drying.

How Flooded House After Heavy Rain Cleanup Works in Goodells

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   Dehumidifiers and directed airflow dry remaining materials while meter readings show progress.

• Avoid touching outlets or cords near wet floors.
• Keep children and pets away from muddy water.
