How Floor Drain Backup Flood Cleanup Works in Poolesville

1. Remove standing water

3. Remove soaked material

   Carpet pad that cannot be dried safely may need to come out. Removal gives remaining wet layers a path to dry.

• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
