What Septic Backup Flood Cleanup Includes in Ethan

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Water left in drywall can keep a wall cavity damp. Removing unsalvageable sections gives remaining framing a better path to dry. Air movement reaches exposed framing more effectively.
- Stop using plumbing fixtures.
- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
- Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
