How Flash Flood House Cleanup Works in Saint Marks

1. Establish safe access

   The technician identifies submerged electrical equipment before entering the Saint Marks room. Occupants remain outside the water path.

2. Remove the standing water

   When inflow continues, the crew accounts for new water while planning safe removal.

3. Address contaminated materials

   A written material record helps explain why demolition occurred. The next construction phase waits for dry conditions.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Readings shape equipment placement.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Runoff entering twice can undo progress from the first drying cycle. Source control and water removal need to stay coordinated.

• Stay out of standing water near outlets, wiring or appliances.
• Follow local reentry instructions if the neighborhood has flooded.
• Photograph the visible water line and affected belongings from a safe place.
• Keep children and pets away from wet rooms and contaminated items.
• Call (888) 450-9281 so extraction can begin when access is safe.
