How Storm Drain Backup Into House Cleanup Works in Schroeder

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A crew identifies the floodwater path, sediment and wet rooms to shape the first work plan.

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