How Flash Flood House Cleanup Works in Fish Camp

1. Assess hazards and water depth

2. Extract standing floodwater

   An extraction team removes pooled floodwater so damp layers can be assessed more accurately.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The contractor explains each proposed removal with photographs and material findings.

4. Dry and verify the structure

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

• Keep children and pets away from floodwater and muddy rooms.
• Leave electrical switches alone when standing water remains nearby.
• Photograph the waterline and damaged belongings from a safe position.
