How Flooded House After Heavy Rain Cleanup Works in Winterville

   The contractor photographs conditions and chooses protective measures for the contaminated area.

2. Extract standing floodwater

• Avoid touching outlets or cords near wet floors.
• Keep children and pets away from muddy water.
• Photograph the entry path and affected rooms from a safe place.
