How Gutter and Downspout Overflow Flood Cleanup Works in Hoffman

1. Remove standing water

3. Remove soaked material

   Material removal follows the water path and contamination level. The crew checks whether neighboring material is wet.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers dry materials that can stay in place. Humidity control supports evaporation from structural materials.

• Move valuables off the wet floor if safe.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
