How Window Well Flood Cleanup Works in Saint Onge

Remove standing water
Extraction tools collect pooled water from carpet and hard surfaces. Edges and low points can hold residual water.

Map moisture

Remove soaked material
Contaminated porous materials are separated from salvageable finishes. The loss source informs contamination handling.
-
Dry and verify
The crew adjusts equipment as the wet area changes. Stubborn damp spots may need different airflow.

- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
