Storm Sewer Flood Water Removal

Outside floodwater that enters a garage or ground floor is handled as contaminated. Porous materials it touched are removed.

Toilet water that has spread across a floor is treated as contaminated. It is extracted, and floors, baseboards and lower walls are disinfected.

The report shows where the sewage came from, what it reached and what was removed and why, which gives the adjuster a clear picture of the claim.
