How Flash Flood House Cleanup Works in Irrigon

1. Assess hazards and water depth

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Pumps remove deeper water; extraction tools pull smaller remaining pools from reachable areas.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

4. Dry and verify the structure

• Keep children and pets away from floodwater and muddy rooms.
