How Flash Flood House Cleanup Works in Roaring River

Dry and verify

- 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.

The typical home in the ZIP codes around Roaring River was built in the 1970s. A garage adjoining a living room can create a runoff route. Extraction follows water across the interior threshold.
Mixed weather can bring wind-driven rain through damaged openings. The wet interior needs measured drying.
