How Storm Drain Backup Into House Cleanup Works in Wolf Creek

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The crew works from safe access toward wet rooms, taking bulk water out before drying.

• Keep children and pets away from contaminated runoff.
• Photograph the water path from a dry and safe position.
