How Flooded House After Heavy Rain Cleanup Works in Augusta

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A crew identifies the floodwater path, sediment and wet rooms to shape the first work plan.

2. Extract standing floodwater

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