How Flooded House After Heavy Rain Cleanup Works in Cotton Valley

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A walkthrough tracks where outside water reached flooring, walls and lower cavities.

   Standing stormwater leaves the building through pumping matched to depth and debris.

   The crew adjusts equipment when humidity stays high or a cavity reading stops improving.

• 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.
