How Under House Flood Water Removal Works in Independence

1. Remove the standing water

   Contaminated porous materials often require careful removal.

• Keep out of the underfloor area if water touches electrical systems or access feels unsafe.
• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
