What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Stay out of standing water near outlets, wiring or appliances.
- 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.

Flash Flood House Cleanup Questions in Goode
Should anyone enter right after the flash flood?
Stay out until local authorities permit reentry and electrical hazards have been assessed. Floodwater can carry sewage and chemicals. Call 24/7 after the building is safe to approach.
Can mud be left to dry before cleanup?
Dried sediment becomes harder to remove and can remain inside joints. A crew extracts the water, removes sediment and cleans exposed surfaces. Early action also limits moisture migration.
Can household fans replace flash flood house cleanup?
Fans do not remove contaminated materials or prove the structure is dry.
Does flash flood house cleanup fix the exterior cause?
The appropriate trade addresses roof, drainage or plumbing defects. The crew mitigates indoor water.
Does flash flood house cleanup include pumping?
Deep standing water is generally pumped before shallow surface extraction and drying.
