How Flooded House After Heavy Rain Cleanup Works in Mittie

1. Assess hazards and water depth

• Wait for the rainwater to stop rising before entering affected rooms.
• 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.
• Call 24/7 with the approximate number of wet rooms.
