How Flooded House After Heavy Rain Cleanup Works in Decatur

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

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