How Floor Drain Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Alta

3. Open what holds water

   Contaminated porous materials often require careful removal.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.

• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
