How Flash Flood House Cleanup Works in Evansville

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

• Leave electrical switches alone when standing water remains nearby.
• Photograph the waterline and damaged belongings from a safe position.
