How Flooded House After Heavy Rain Cleanup Works in Galloway

1. Assess hazards and water depth

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The contractor records the water removed and checks whether entry continues during the job.

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.

• Photograph the entry path and affected rooms from a safe place.
