How Flooded House After Heavy Rain Cleanup Works in Shiprock

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The contractor photographs conditions and chooses protective measures for the contaminated area.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The contractor records the water removed and checks whether entry continues during the job.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The crew opens affected wall bases when contaminated materials cannot be restored in place.

• Avoid touching outlets or cords near wet floors.
• Keep children and pets away from muddy water.
