What Apartment Flood Water Cleanup Includes in Remlap
A Remlap crew uses meters during apartment flood water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
An upstairs overflow, broken supply or drain problem in a rental building can soak unit ceilings, shared walls, carpet and hallway flooring. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.
A blocked drain may need a plumbing contractor. Sewage cleanup also needs protective handling, removal of contaminated porous materials and surface cleaning.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
After a sewage backup, porous materials that touched contaminated water usually come out. Remaining surfaces are cleaned before structural drying proceeds.
- Stop the water at a safe shutoff if the source is inside.
- Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
- Photograph unit ceilings before moving affected items.
- Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
- Move dry valuables out of the path without walking through water.
