How River Flood Home Cleanup Works in Lamar
-
Establish safe access

Deep pools are lowered with pumping equipment. Extraction tools then address remaining liquid near floor edges.

Dry and verify
Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Readings shape equipment placement.

- Stay out of standing water near outlets, wiring or appliances.
- Follow local reentry instructions if the neighborhood has flooded.
- Photograph the visible water line and affected belongings from a safe place.
- Keep children and pets away from wet rooms and contaminated items.
