How Gutter and Downspout Overflow Water Cleanup Works in Bon Secour

1. Remove standing water

   A technician works from the wettest section toward unaffected rooms to contain the spread of water.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A room by room moisture map helps place drying gear where it will matter.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Dirty water on porous materials changes the work: contaminated pieces usually come out.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew compares final readings with the unaffected reference before equipment removal.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Have the gutter and drainage path corrected.
• Avoid any flooded electrical outlets or extension cords.
• Move valuables away if safe.
• Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
• Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.
